02 / Editorial storytelling

Put people

Large photographs sit alongside structured narratives and highlighted information. The selected spreads keep the human context visible while presenting policy and programme results.

Work that works / Why the work works

Keep people and information connected.

Large photographs bring people into the report, while colored panels and a consistent text hierarchy separate topics. My contribution to 20 printed pages forms part of the publication designed with Shangning Wang and Pragya Mahendru.
