THE BRIEF
Design a summary report for Howden's Global Risk and Resilience Collective, presenting the 2025 Fellowship's work on urban climate resilience across New York, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City. The brief involved organising supplied content, imagery, statistics and methodology into a cohesive publication while maintaining a professional corporate aesthetic.
THE PROBLEM
The report contained several types of information, from detailed paragraphs and city profiles to methodology diagrams, statistics and key findings. The challenge was to organise this content into a clear reading experience without making the pages feel dense or visually overwhelming. The design needed to establish a strong hierarchy, help readers navigate between sections and maintain consistency throughout the publication.
MY PROCESS
I used a structured grid, serif headlines and sans-serif body text to establish hierarchy and readability. A palette of deep green, pale lime and off-white created visual consistency, while city photography, numbered sections and information blocks helped guide readers through the report.
THE WORK
WHAT I LEARNED
This project strengthened my understanding of editorial layout and information design, particularly how typography, spacing and colour can make complex, content-heavy publications easier to navigate.
