OVERVIEW
I designed a wide range of editorial and informational materials for the U.S. Department of Justice' Office of Justice Programs (OJP), spanning both print and digital platforms. The work included Congress level reports, publications, fact sheets, brochures, promotional flyers, toolkits, playbooks, and other high-visibility communications. Across every format, my goal was to transform complex information into clear, engaging visual experiences while maintaining a cohesive and recognizable OJP brand.
CHALLENGE
OJP’s materials often contained large amounts of complex, technical, and data-driven information that needed to be communicated to diverse audiences. Each piece also had to work across different formats and platforms while adhering to established brand standards and federal accessibility requirements. The challenge was to create layouts that felt polished and engaging without sacrificing readability, usability, or compliance with Section 508 accessibility standards.
SOLUTION
I developed flexible editorial layouts that balanced visual hierarchy, typography, imagery, data, and information structure to make complex content easier to navigate and understand. I applied consistent brand elements across a broad range of materials while adapting the visual system to suit each product and audience. Accessibility was always treated as a priority and integrated into the design process from the very beginning, with careful consideration given to typography, color contrast, document structure, tagging, and digital usability. The result was a cohesive library of print and digital communications that were visually compelling, on brand, accessible, and designed to make important information easier to find and understand.
