NSW EPA web style guide design

As the in-house designer for the NSW Environment Minister's portfolio, I created a style guide to inform the development of the agency’s new website. While consulting with internal stakeholders, I created a set of design guides and rules for the application of fonts, colours, icons, logos and images. My principal focus was on colour and its application. NSW Government requires that visual design products are AA accessible. For example, when working with colours, designers must take into account the needs of people with low vision. The NSW state government ‘aims to conform to W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, with a focus on achieving a minimum accessibility level of ‘AA’ within these guidelines.’
