Code of Conduct
Editorial / Digital / Illustration
Challenge
Afiniti's Code of Conduct was a dense, text-heavy document that employees found difficult to read and reference. There were large blocks of text without a clear visual hierarchy made it overwhelming to navigate and lack of illustrations, and graphic elements, led to low employee engagement. The document did not align with the company’s visual identity, missing an opportunity to reinforce corporate values.
