Funding Compendium 2021
United Nations Development ProgrammeSole designer · 35-page publication
01 / Project overview
A clear view of
complex funding.
An annual funding publication bringing financial information, partner contributions and development resources into one editorial system.
I designed the 2021 Funding Compendium for UNDP as the sole designer. The publication brings together charts, maps, tables and narrative content, balancing a vivid visual identity with detailed financial reporting.
02 / The visual language
Energy on the outside.
Structure within.
Luminous violet, blue and magenta imagery establishes the publication’s character. White data pages create a contrasting space for detailed reading.
The editorial approach
Give the data structure.
Give the reader a way in.
03 / Information design
From totals
to comparisons.
Selected pages show how different forms of financial information are organized: composition, ranking, change over time and geographic distribution.
Comparison
Making differences visible.
Horizontal bars align contributions on a common scale. Partner labels and funding categories sit within the same view, allowing the page to support both scanning and closer reading.
04 / The complete publication
A system that holds
across the details.
The design continues from narrative sections through specialized funding views and the financial appendix.
Work that works / Why the work works
Make complexity easier to navigate.
Horizontal bars put partner contributions on a common scale, while maps and tables provide different levels of detail. This gives each type of funding information a clear place in the publication.
