Fillable Forms, PDFs
A selection of standardized, fillable PDF forms created for the city government.

The City of Shorewood runs many administrative processes that depend on documents, from permits to internal HR forms. I joined as a Graphic Design Intern to help bring its materials up to date.

Inconsistent, hard-to-use city forms

Many of the existing documents were outdated, inconsistent in appearance and hard to fill in. My task was to review them and rebuild them as one consistent set that followed the Shorewood Branding Kit.

Fillable PDFs on the city brand kit

I used InDesign and Adobe Acrobat to redesign the documents as fillable PDFs, applying the brand kit throughout and adding form fields, dropdown menus and clearer instructions.

A consistent set of digital forms

The city received a library of updated digital forms with consistent formatting and interactive fields, which also cut down on paper.
