Drexel University President Reports
Project Details

Overview

Each year from 2017 to 2021, Drexel's President Report set a new bar for what an institutional annual report could look like on the web. I developed all five reports in close collaboration with writers and graphic designers, building custom thematic layouts and interactions from scratch for each edition. Circulated to tens of thousands of University community members annually, the reports became a marquee showcase for Drexel's digital communications program — and earned consistent recognition from PRSA and CUPRAP along the way.
