CLIENT: Legal Graphics Inc.
SCOPE: Litigation Graphics
Various examples of demonstrative evidence created for courtroom use. This is an area of design that I enjoy very much. I started out my education at the University of Michigan studying Medical Illustration, which eventually segued into Graphic Design. Although I could have never predicted it, the two disciplines were ultimately married when I found myself designing litigation graphics for my first eight years in Chicago. I worked with myriad top law firms, both locally and nationally, and was involved in many high-profile, and some very notorious (*cough* White Bronco) cases.
The work was exciting, challenging and surprisingly creative. I thrived on the organization and discipline required to make concise, yet impactful, statements. Although the details of these cases are now fuzzy, to this day I welcome the opportunity to create infographics.
It should be noted that these graphics were presented as large prints mounted on foam core. Some had acetate overlays and magnetic pieces to make them buildable, flexible and dynamic. Today, they would be animated PowerPoint presentations, but the thought process is the same. What is relevant is that the layered way of thinking, the importance of hierarchy and the building of story are baked into my litigation graphic-creating DNA, regardless of format.
Case experience includes Commercial, Class Action, Product Liability, Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury, Insurance Defense, Antitrust, Intellectual Property, Patent, Labor/Employment, Securities, Criminal, Environmental and Construction.
