01 / Project overview

People, progress
and perspective.

An annual report documenting UNDP’s progress toward gender equality during 2020.

I contributed design to 20 printed pages of this report in collaboration with Shangning Wang and Pragya Mahendru. Starting from a Word document, I worked on the selected pages within UNDP’s brand guidelines.

The main editorial challenge was balancing images, infographics and text: giving each type of content space while keeping the pages consistent with the UNDP identity.

02 / Editorial storytelling

Put people
within the story.

These selected spreads pair large photographs with narrative text and colored information panels. The green and cyan treatments give adjacent sections distinct visual identities within the report’s shared layout language.

The editorial approach

A human story.
A clear reading rhythm.

03 / Information & rhythm

Different content.
One publication.

The selected pages show four editorial tasks: navigating the report, explaining relationships, summarizing multiple topics and reading a longer narrative. Photography, diagrams, icons and text columns give each content type a different treatment.
