YYYY/MM/DD (Year Month Day) is a book of "This I Believe" essays written by the Maine College of Art Graphic Design class of 2019. This I Believe, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization based on a 50s radio show of the same name and encourages people to write about what they believe in.
The design is centered around viewing the book as a document of the writers' beliefs; the form mimics a manila folder. The reader is given prompts and activities to complete throughout the book, thus adding themselves to the "document." It ends by giving the reader a space to write their own essay.
