The Mueller Report Illustrated

The Washington Post and Scribner at Simon & Schuster teamed together to create The Mueller Report Illustrated, a graphic nonfiction book. The series is drawn directly from episodes detailed in the Mueller report in which prosecutors found possible evidence of obstruction of justice, as well as congressional testimony and Washington Post reporting.

I led the storyboarding and production of visuals, and finessed front-end code of the six-part online presentation. I also worked closely with editor Matea Gold and reporter Roz Helderman to ensure the script translated into the graphic art format accurately.

The project was recognized with a number of awards, including Society for News Design’s Best in Show — a first for The Post.

While working on the book, I also led the art direction and design of the six-part digital presentation, with the help of designer and developer Lucio Villa. The digital presentation includes subtle CSS animations by Kolin Pope and audio editing by Matt Collette.

I created high-fidelity prototypes in Sketch of each episode with the illustration assets.

The key was to make sure the mobile experience was as seamless as desktop and to get the project in front of editors as soon as possible.

All speech bubbles in the project are direct quotes, so we often worked with unpredictable lengths in dialogue. As a result, most of these interactions and placements were meticulously hand-coded into the project.

We released this trailer a month before the project went live.
