Outside of the websites, I was often given a text-heavy Word document that was to be styled into a visually appealing and accessible PDF using their brand guidelines.

Sourcing stock photography and all visual elements was key to supporting the text. Working closely with the authors was a critical component in ensuring that these documents reflected not only their voice but also their vision. Data visualization was often including, taking a basic chart and bringing it to life with additional design.

Accessibility is a primary focus for ACT and once the design of the report was approved, the finishing touch was to make it WCAG 2.1 compliant. This was done with a combination of Commonlook and Adobe Acrobat. This went well beyond alt-text to include reading order, bookmarks, and proper table structure.
