Campaign Legal Center
Fighting for Our Democracy
Challenge
Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan organization focused on tackling issues threatening American democracy, contacted Eighty2degrees to collaborate on several timely reports. The first report focused on combating misinformation in the presidential election and was released just before the 2024 election. The second report highlighted the FEC—Federal Election Commission—shedding crucial light on how their actions fuel big money’s political influence and silence everyday Americans. Most recently, in 2025, a third report provided crucial awareness and guidance for ethics commissions on issues that might arise in their states.
Approach
These reports use CLC’s branding—from collage-style imagery and patterning to its signature color palette—in thoughtful, intentional ways. "Threat Assessment 2025" used coordinated patterning to distinguish among threat categories, along with bold typography and red hues to convey urgency. “Electing the President” utilized small collages as a navigational tool to create a step-by-step guide to the process. A larger collage was created for the cover, indicative of a timeline. “From Dysfunctional to Destructive” used bold, contrasting colors and angled patterns to emphasize the issue’s urgency and create a sense of unease. Infographics, collages, and a clean grid structure cater to “swimmer” and “skimmer”-style readers.
