Largely Unchanged

ART DIRECTION: Myrna Rosales

PRODUCTION: Riley

PARTNER & RESEARCH: Alicia Virani, J.D, Rachel Wallace, J.D., Stephanie Campos-Bui, J.D. UCLA Law School, UC Berkley Law School & Design Action Collective

GRAPHICS & DATA VIZ: Myrna Rosales

Largely Unchanged, The Limits of In re Humphrey on Pretrial Incarceration is a report produced by the Policy Advocacy Clinic at Berkeley Law and the Pretrial Justice Clinic at UCLA School of Law.

This follow-up report provides an updated analysis of whether In re Humphrey is having its intended effect on the pretrial landscape in California. The researchers found that while there was some progress in the immediate aftermath of Humphrey, many counties are reverting to pre-Humphrey rates of pretrial incarceration.

I worked with both of the Law School teams to conceptualize the report's spirit and how we wanted to use visual storytelling to support readers' key takeaways. As the lead, I supplied the cover art, report layout template, and graphics for the production of this project.

Coming Up Short: The Unrealized Promise of In Re Humphrey is a report produced by the Policy Advocacy Clinic at Berkeley Law and the Bail Practicum (now Pretrial Justice Clinic) at UCLA Law. It provides a comprehensive look at the impact of In re Humphrey on the landscape of pretrial detention in the state. The report reaches a grim conclusion: that implementation of this decision is coming up short.

I worked with both of the Law School teams to conceptualize the report's spirit and how we wanted to use visual storytelling to support readers' key takeaways. As the lead, I supplied the cover art, report layout template, and graphics for the production of this project.

DFCS & Law Enforcement Report

ART DIRECTION: Myrna Rosales

PRODUCTION: Jack De Jesus

PARTNER & RESEARCH: Leah Zeidler-Ordaz, J.D, UCLA Law School & Design Action Collective

GRAPHICS & ILLUSTRATION: Myrna Rosales

UCLA School of Law’s Criminal Justice Program developed this report to shed light on the federal, state, and local laws and regulations that encourage collaboration between local law enforcement agencies and Los Angeles County’s child protective services agency, the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).

The report focuses on the operation of DCFS, the nation's largest local child protective services agency. It details how federal, state, and local laws create information-sharing schemes that enable law enforcement and child protective services agencies to collect and share vast amounts of data, which can lead to family separation or criminalization.

I worked with the Law School team to conceptualize the spirit of the report and how we wanted to use visual storytelling to support key takeaways for readers. As the lead, I supplied the cover art, report layout template, and illustrations and graphics for the production of this project.

ART DIRECTION: Myrna Rosales

GRAPHICS & ILLUSTRATION: Myrna Rosales

PARTNERS: Kate Hoeting, Ashley Wilson, Conscience Magazine's Editorial Staff, Catholics for Choice & Design Action Collective

Conscience is the magazine of religious and reproductive freedom.

"The Theology Issue" honors what progressive Catholics know intrinsically: Our tradition abounds in wisdom about equality, justice, and dignity — for those with the intellectual courage to seek it.

In 2023, the first year after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, state legislatures took various actions on reproductive health.

GRAPHICS & ILLUSTRATION: Myrna Rosales & Joy Liu-Trujillo

PARTNERS: Catholics for Choice, Conscience Magazine & Design Action Collective

Conscience is the magazine of religious and reproductive freedom.

Conscience is Catholics for Choice's flagship publication. Since 1974, it has closely monitored religious and reproductive freedom. We’re proud to feature writing by brilliant and audacious scholars, faith leaders, and everyday current (and former) Catholics in its biannual issues.

Conscience magazine is growing up and becoming more confident in its voice. Joy and I wanted to develop a layout that allowed readers to feel that the page had a flexible grid and used brighter colors and more playful typography to add new energy.

Our team worked to develop a new look and feel through concept development, critique from other designers, and pitching the visual messaging.

One of my favorite components of this project was working with Joy. We thrived in merging our design strengths (production layout and cover art/visual storytelling) to produce a stellar magazine layout.

ACLU: Cover Art

ART DIRECTION & ILLUSTRATION: Myrna Rosales

PARTNER: ACLU, Advancement Project & Design Action Collective

The Combahee River Collective inspired this cover. An excerpt from The Combahee River Collective Statement (1977):

Black women’s extremely negative relationship to the American political system has always been determined by our membership in two oppressed racial and sexual castes. Contemporary Black feminism is the outgrowth of countless generations of personal sacrifice, militancy, and work by our mothers and sisters.

Black femmes engage with a different point of contact with the carceral system, from direct impact to the survival of their loved ones. I wanted to celebrate and center a face that captured this resilient energy.

PARTNER: Tzunu Strategies

Tzunu Strategies is a social impact communications firm that transforms narratives and reimagines engagement with communities of color.

Initially, Tzunu honed in on their position and messaging. Over time as a parent brand, Tzunu continuously grew, and clarity of structure became critical — and that’s where brand architecture took center stage.

After much reading, I often think about visual tools (graphics, type, photos, etc.) that can subvert a narrative in some way to make it more memorable.

Presentation: MYRNA ROSALES

Overview:

At the University of California, Irvine, there is less than two percent of Black students. This statistic has impacted the background characteristics, activities, goals, and perceptions of Black students. How they navigate at UCI has to be intentional. These students have had to learn to cope while attending a predominantly white institution and co-exist with their non-black counterparts. In an attempt to capture these experiences, this film gives some insight into the current experiences and the academic thought of what it means to be Black at UC Irvine. The film was shown to incoming first-year students during the orientation program.

A brief clip from the film has been provided.
