The Knight First Amendment Institute (KFAI) serves to promote a system of free expression that is open and inclusive, that broadens and elevates public discourse, and that fosters creativity, accountability, and effective self-government.

Our work with the Institute dates back to 2018 when we first partnered with them to design a poster and graphics for their special symposium titled “Secrets and Leaks: Whistleblowers, Journalists, and National Security.” Since then, we have designed digital marketing assets for various high-profile events, a research report template, their inaugural Annual Report, and most recently, a Case Statement for Donor Support.

Making a Case for Support

Flipping through pages of the Case Statement Booklet.

Working closely with the senior leadership team at Knight First Amendment Institute, Flyleaf Creative designed a Case Statement for Donor Support in 2023 to visually capture what KFAI does and bolster donor support for the Institute. In addition to a presentation deck and a flippable digital PDF, the work included a centerpiece printed booklet featuring the following elements:

  • Custom illustrative collages by renowned artist Mike McQuade
  • Exciting typeface explorations, honoring the historic legal work of the Institute as well its future impact
  • Varying page-size layouts to ignite reader engagement

An Annual Showcase of Impact

Various pages of the annual report with the cover large.

In 2019, Flyleaf Creative designed a new Annual Report for KFAI that provides an overview of the highlights and achievements of the previous year, active litigation, press highlights, organization goals, research and public education, and financial reports. The 16-page report offered supporters a crucial understanding of the Institute’s impact in a creative, engaging format.
