Opening Minds
Communities. We believe everybody should be able to access community projects, arts, outdoors and learning opportunities. Drawing in all members of a community including businesses, builds a broader foundation for longer term resilience. Hoping for a closer knit society, creating and learning together - looking out for each other.
Communication design for communities. We use strong imagery and carefully structured messaging, to get to the heart of what needs to be said. If you need to encourage a range of audiences to participate, or need to bring clarity to complex problems, communication design is a persuasive tool to speak to all audiences.
Collaboration for communities. We work through our projects in a way that enables clients and communities to feel part of the process; our end goal is for a sense of ownership and pride in communications to be created. Long term goals and relationships are really important to us; we want to see brands and campaigns thrive, so build designs that can evolve and continue to bring positivity to audiences.
Whatever and whenever we get involved, we are always thinking about how we can bring both clarity and joy to as many audiences as possible

A heady mix, or something for everyone?
Our focus was the gains that could be made in medical research using this method of genomic data storage.
We focussed on people and the ultimate goal of cures and treatments that could be reached quicker, by efficient access to genomic data.
Design for communities can be vibrant and exciting and a real opportunity to showcase common goals, it can also be overlooked due to lack of funds or insight. We want to champion the need to use strong design in communications.
