Graphic Design of Government Reports
Graphic Design of Government Reports – BC on the Move is the BC Government’s 10 year transportation plan
Services included designing many maps and building a design standard for the document
This design standard creates an information hierarchy and as a result helps to quickly convey information
Common graphic design elements are also important to help move the reader through the document
Project details: BC on the Move is a comprehensive 60 page report outlining the changes in BC’s transportation infrastructure for the next 10 years. SWCA worked with Kirk & Co Consulting to provide graphic design services on this project for the BC Government.
Consultation documents are packed with facts and information. Therefore, a designer’s challenge is to make that information easy to read. The design should feature key facts and important information in an easy to navigate format. The design should be built with a clean and consistent style of typography, as well as a logical progression of information.
Corporate documents and reports often go through many drafts of changes. It is therefore important for a design studio to have systems in place to monitor and track changes. At SWCA we have a process of dating and numbering our working files. This informs all team members of version numbers as well providing tracking numbers for the progress of the project.
SWCA has a history of coordinating and managing printing projects. Large multi-page reports like this or small single page collateral pieces – we have suppliers that can print them all. We have extensive experience with digital, litho and web printing projects. Our relationships with printers across the lower mainland makes any printing job an easy one for us to stick-handle on your behalf.
