Designing for Comparison Without Erasing Difference

The GovLab needed three text-heavy case studies to function as a single research series while remaining useful as standalone documents. Each report examined a different model for engaging young people in public problem-solving, so my job was to create continuity without flattening their differences.
I built the series around a consistent reading structure, allowing readers to move through the same questions about how each program works, who participates, what it achieves, and what others can learn, in the same order across all three reports. The covers then give each case a clear sense of place and an individual identity. The result is a system that makes dense research easier to navigate, compare, and recognize as part of a larger body of work.
