01 / The challenge

Make depth feel effortless.

The NRLCEO Season Guide combines dense statistics, long-form analysis, player imagery, and varied editorial formats. The design has to let committed readers dig deeply while still making every spread easy to scan and navigate.

02 / Long-term ownership

One publication, improved every year.

I overhauled the existing guide in 2017 and have solely designed every edition since. That continuity allowed the visual language, grid, templates, and navigation devices to evolve in response to more content and a growing page count.

03 / Editorial system

Consistency without repetition.

Repeatable page structures establish trust, but each section still needs rhythm and distinction. I use clear typographic hierarchy, modular data treatments, and controlled variation to keep a large publication coherent from cover to final page.

04 / Beyond the guide

A brand expressed across channels.

Alongside the annual publication, I created campaign and social graphics that extended the same visual confidence into faster, more immediate formats.
