Three “How We Design Through Fire” trifold brochures fanned out on a burnt-orange ground

SBCFSC Educational Materials

Typography + Layout + Editorial Design + Client Work

The council asked me to redesign and unify its public education materials. It provided a California Fire Safe Council style guide to work from, but I found inconsistencies in it, so I resolved those into a single coherent system that existing staff could apply: Montserrat SemiBold & Source Sans 3 on a consistent grid with defined color roles and iconography.

The deliverables were a set of slide-deck and print-document templates, color-coded by audience, along with applied productions for reference. These let the council produce new materials for any program while keeping everything visibly part of one identity.

Five slide-deck cover variants, one per audience, each in its own brand color
The color guide page mapping each audience to its title, subsection, and text colors
Structural slide templates: table of contents, section header, section title, subsection header, title and body
Content slide templates: three-column, four-column, title-only, and one-column-and-image layouts
Data slide templates: main point, large percentage, table, and typography guide
