Annual Budget In-Depth Process

Project Overview:

1

Worked with a single stakeholder

2

Provided a wide range of designs for the stakeholder to choose from and to refine

3

For the 2020 Budget I wanted to spotlight the opening of a new Turnpike and showcase the years the other turnpikes had opened

4

In 2021, due to the social climate in 2020, I really wanted to pay homage to what was happening at that time with a more conservative and somber cover

5

The 2022 cover puts the new state logo on display

6

Below are several covers that would go unused and some in-process iterations

During the design process, there were several iterations that were created, but never used. Here are some of those designs:

Annual Financial Report In-Depth Process

Project Overview:

1

Reviewed every financial report that the agency created since its' inception and extracted key elements to be used moving forward

2

Came to the understanding that the state of the most recently used file for the report was unusable, so I recreated the entire report in InDesign

3

Researched current design trends for printed reports and magazines for inspiration, established a color scheme, and provided several designs for approvals

4

Held meetings with key stakeholders and presented designs to ensure approval of the creative process and to gather the legal requirements the report must meet. Some of these meetings included approvals for the style guide, images, and layout/formatting.

5

Trained employees and created materials to ensure the copy and Excel spreadsheets were correctly formatted for the design process

6

Consulted with an on-site construction photographer and provided direction for specific shots

7

Worked with the printer to make sure the InDesign file was correctly packaged and to proof the samples for approval
