CEPS 5-Year Story Booklet

Challenge

Create a publication that documents the first five years of SAIT's Continuing Education and Professional Studies (CEPS) division, capturing its growth, achievements, and evolution during a period of significant organizational change. The report needed to communicate strategic milestones, operational growth, and learner impact while presenting complex information in an engaging and accessible format.

Approach

As lead designer and art director, I developed a 16-page publication that combined storytelling, photography, data visualization, and strategic messaging to showcase CEPS's journey from its formation through its first five years of growth.

The design utilized a structured grid system, clear typographic hierarchy, and a modular layout that balanced narrative content with key metrics and milestones. Strategic infographic callouts highlighted significant achievements, while authentic photography reinforced the human impact of lifelong learning and professional development. The publication was designed to function effectively in both print and interactive PDF formats, ensuring accessibility and ease of navigation for diverse audiences.
