Comprehensive Edit
Introduction
My task for this project was to give a much-needed update to a Utah Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Laws document. Unlike the previous governance policy revision I showcased, this was a comprehensive edit. This meant I had complete control of the text and visuals, as well as the overall structure of my document.

Audience
An important part of my design philosophy for this law document was to understand the target audience.
Since the organization I chose was the University of Utah, it’s safe to assume most people the document will be addressed to are college students. Due to unfortunate on-campus trends like binge drinking, I wanted to make sure that the consequences of breaking the law were apparent.
Unlike the original document, which listed all the criminal offenses and penalties towards the back, I made sure for my new document to have all of this information on page one.
