OVERVIEW
Unfortunately, noble causes can’t get by on sheer nobility alone. They need to be presented in an aesthetically pleasing way while also projecting competence and seriousness. For the Human Rights Report, the design needed to help shape the editorial model for a piece of print collateral that, visually, begs not to be ignored - on a topic that, ethically, shouldn’t be ignored.
The Human Rights Report was a unique project with many moving parts. Cory quickly developed a strategy to tie them all together. From the attention given to the smallest of details to the creativity applied throughout, the quality of service and personalized care exceeded expectations. - Les Prendergast, Managing Editor
The goal was to create a serious publication on an important topic without feeling outdated or out of touch. By incorporating compelling, data-driven visual metaphors, the publication was crafted to be both visually engaging and respectful of the subject’s gravity.

The Special Report on Human Rights was a custom publication developed with Human Rights First, BDP International, Inc., Thomson Reuters Foundation, Cordery, and Marriott International, Inc. The project included creative direction, design, print production, and editorial consulting. It featured editorial content by Stefan Linssen, editorial oversight by Les Prendergast, and illustrations by Tom Jellett. Published by Ethisphere, printed in California by RR Donnelley, and distributed to Fortune 500 companies. This publication was designed from the ground up to elevate the global dialogue on human rights, focusing on transparency, accountability, and shared responsibility, and to encourage engagement with complex and high-stakes human rights issues.
