CASE STUDY / ECLIPSE FOUNDATION

Jakarta EE Developer Survey

Designing a research report for the Eclipse Foundation.

Company: Eclipse Foundation
Role: Graphic designer
Disciplines: Editorial design, information design, data visualization

In 2018, the Eclipse Foundation conducted a survey of more than 1,800 developers to understand how Java EE was being used and what developers wanted from its evolution into Jakarta EE.

I was responsible for the complete visual design of the 28-page report, working from supplied copy and survey data to create the layouts, charts, typography, and supporting graphics.

Editorial and information design

The report contained a substantial amount of technical information and survey data. I developed a consistent layout system that paired written analysis with custom charts, making it easier for readers to compare results and follow the findings.

The visual direction drew from Jakarta EE's existing colors, with an expanded palette to distinguish data and add variety throughout the publication. Typography, spacing, and section treatments helped establish a clear hierarchy across the report.
