Solar One Brand Materials

Retained by non-profits marketing leads to layout their 2022 annual report and produce engaging materials for their inaugural event. I choose to breakup the content heavy report pages with theme targeted color bands. They provided a perfect location to draw attention to page tiles. The pages follow a simple layout formation due to the nature and quantity of information required on each. For consistency purposed I incorporated the same clean layout ideology towards developing their event materials. To stimulate event interest I choose an "energizing" script font for the title that I brightly colored and used to draw focus to essential information.

SolarOne multipage 2022 annual report cover showcased the community they serve with the technology & eduction they provide. The following 2 collection of page spreads showcase the final primary page layout design. #corporatedocumentlayout #pagelayout #multipagelayoutdesign #reportdesign #documentlayoutdesign #documentlayout #nonprofitdesign #volunteerdesignwork #customgraphics #artdirection #creativedirection #photoediting #imageediting #colorcorrecting #illustratorgraphics #chartdesign #chartdevelopment #nonprofitdesign
