Colby College’s Economic Impact Report outlines how the college contributes to the financial health and development of its surrounding regions of Maine—including jobs, spending, and investment across local communities. The goal was to present this information in a way that felt both impactful and approachable, even for readers without a background in economics.

I designed a clean, engaging layout that turned dense data into easy-to-digest visuals. Custom infographics highlighted key statistics, making Colby’s contributions feel immediate and understandable. A glowing edge motif carried through the report, symbolizing the college’s ongoing influence—shedding light on growth, investment, and the energy it brings to central Maine. The result is a polished, data-forward piece that balances clarity with visual storytelling.
