I created these template designs for the Alight team to have confidence owning their documents sharing information externally.
Alight needed branded templates that could easily and quickly be manipulated by staff for fundraising and information sharing.
I created a series of templates while keep Alight's staff top of mind for ease of use and adaptability. All staff has access to Microsoft PowerPoint, but some country programs preferred Google Slides, so I built the templates in PowerPoint as well as in Google Slides. There had to be space for photo and text content as well as a uniform footer to tie it all to Alight's brand and appear professional. I developed many templates and user-tested them with internal stakeholders. After testing and refining the designs, I came up with a general 1-2 pager template that included 2 style options for page one (Style A and Style B), and provided a stylized page 2 template for longer pieces of content. I also invented custom pattern designs for a series of 20+ country-specific 1-2 pager templates, like the El Salvador example below.
These templates were successfully shared organization-wide and adopted by users around the world. The designs were launched in 2023 and are still regularly used in 2025 to help synthesize program information and sell partnership and donor appeals.
