PUBLICATION DESIGN
viu annual report
brief summary?
During my time working for the Centre for Experiential Learning at Vancouver Island University, I created a visual document for their first Annual Student Engagement Report. This was the first time this had been done as a physical product with accompanying visuals; it had previously been a black-and-white text document. The project involved overseeing the entire process from the initial concept through to the final print. Responsibilities included designing the layout, coordinating with a dedicated team through regular meetings, and managing print production to achieve high-quality results. Close collaboration with my colleagues, print staff, and supervisor was essential for refining the design and ensuring the final product met all branding and quality standards.
design challenge
The challenge for this project was navigating the flow of the booklet layout from the massive Word document. In many instances, I reordered and amalgamated sections with approval to improve the readability of the final booklet. Working with VIU’s new branding was also something I navigated throughout my time working on the Annual Student Engagement Report. VIU was undergoing a rebrand during my time there, so working with the in-house designers and navigating print colour errors was also challenging.
