We designed the report as a visual storytelling product—treating layout, illustration, and information design as core tools for comprehension (not decoration).

The work
01The structure was built for fast navigation and layered reading, combining an analytical section with a practical reference section that provides a snapshot of 14 EU legislative files and their implications for municipalities and regions.
02We translated key themes into section-opening visuals, narrative vignettes, and infographics that prioritise clarity, pacing, and memorability.
03We also designed repeatable layouts for the report’s “info sheets” and evidence blocks—so readers can move from context → implications → challenges → examples without friction—while maintaining a consistent visual rhythm throughout.
The report methodology is clearly documented (survey + working group input + desk research), ensuring the storytelling remains grounded in evidence.
