Wow. Wow. Wow.. My second year designing the RKL LLP Annual Review. Can I be honest for a second? It was kind of daunting going into the design for this one--not only because we recently won a GDUSA Magazine American Design award for last years design-- but also because of how much I just really loved the look of the last one!
So the idea of kicking it up a notch felt like a challenge:
But, through all the research, recoloring, masking, and editing I am so extremely happy with the 2025 design result. People ask me all the time what it is like to work in-house and design for ONE brand all the time; with RKL, I never get tired of our look. Creating high-level design that focuses on our culture, our people and our story keeps new ideas coming and creative inspiration strong.
I am immensely grateful I had another year to put my all into the visual design of this publication and was incredibly happy to work with Allison Schlegelmilch, CDMP, PCM and Sarah Stehman (Johnson) who really captured the stories and the copy that served as the bones for the way this art came together.
Thank you RKL for always trusting me to design What's Next.
