Youth Ambassadors 2009 Pack

carly — Thu, 07 May 2009 10:53:34 +0000

An imaginative design solution required for a Scheme Members Pack for young people. Approximately only 30 prestigious packs per year are required and cost was a major issue for the client, which the design ideas took into account. Our design solution was to create a ‘hand made feel’, with a presentation box tied with garden string. Stickers cover the presentation box, which holds several assignments in separate envelopes to be opened on designated dates-an idea used to add intrigue to the pack. By juxtaposing imagery, the various issues to be explored in the pack are cleverly highlighted in a lively way.

We developed templates and a prototype to be followed which allowed packs to be printed and put together ‘in house’ on demand. World Vision now has updatable templates easily adapted each year, making this an appealing yet cost effective piece of design. Our involvement was finished off by the design of a contemporary recruitment advert in the well known young people’s magazine ‘Sugar’.

Community Spaces Initiative

A brand and illustrative design concept for an extensive communication package, to attract, inform, encourage and facilitate grant application. Its style is simple, easily accessible and flexible for a varied audience, not to mention printed entirely on sustainable stock. Existing brands are successfully merged within the new designs, which are fresh and vital but still true to the environmental ethos of the client.

This was a large campaign and amounted to nearly 12 months work, which resulted in our design concept being applied to a comprehensive range of products. Our input ranged from the design of a full training package, print management and the provision of design templates for internal client use, through to more fun promotional items like the design of seed packaging and re-usable cotton bags.
