Design Strategy

For the safety manual cover, I used Illini orange and Illini blue which are central to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign brand. These colors were chosen for their visual appeal and to reinforce a sense of connection and identity with the institution. In addition to the colors, I selected the serif and san serif fonts to align with the university’s style.

I added four photos across the top to depict various aspects of safety and security relevant to the audience. I included the university logo below the title, creating a clean, visually attractive layout that embodies the brand of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Inside the safety manual, I used descriptive headings and subheadings to ensure that each section is clearly marked and easy to locate. Bullet points were used to present information in a concise format, allowing readers to grasp key points quickly. I also included visual aids such as charts and icons to provide clarity and enhance the overall readability of the manual. All of these elements help users easily navigate the manual and access the information they need about important safety procedures.
