You Can’t Talk About That by Shane Pruitt

You Can’t Talk About That is a bold, conversation-starting eBook designed to equip leaders and students to engage difficult cultural topics with truth, clarity, and courage. The visual direction leans into contrast and urgency, mirroring the weight and relevance of the subject matter.

The cover design features a high-contrast black-and-white collage style paired with sharp, angular shapes to create energy and tension, symbolizing topics that are often avoided or silenced. A megaphone motif reinforces the call to speak up, while the vibrant orange typography cuts through the composition, emphasizing the book’s unapologetic tone. A pop of teal provides visual balance and draws attention to the key message without overwhelming the layout.

Inside the eBook, the design prioritizes readability, hierarchy, and accessibility, using clean typography and intentional spacing to guide readers through complex conversations in a way that feels approachable and engaging. The overall aesthetic is modern, editorial, and purpose-driven, supporting GenSend’s mission while resonating with a younger audience.

This project highlights my ability to translate challenging, mission-focused content into a compelling visual experience that invites engagement and sparks meaningful dialogue.
