The report focuses on six state grantees, highlighting the implementation of programs, key benefits, outcomes, lessons learned, and next steps. The publication should convey the success and impact of each state’s unique approach to JRI, reflecting the distinct areas of focus while emphasizing their collective achievements.
Solution: The report cover features a dot pattern representing a data-driven study, forming a U.S. map with colored dots that highlight the six states studied in the report. This dot design extends to the interior pages, creating a cohesive look throughout. Each chapter includes state outlines in the header art, while text boxes on the pages highlight key insights, such as goals and lessons learned, making the design both functional and visually engaging.
