The Brief
We were commissioned to produce a brochure for ‘Housing Rights in Practice’, a project that focuses on people living in poor housing conditions in Leith. In addition to a print brochure, we were asked to create a digital version, accessible for screen reading software.
The Creative Outcome
We produced a friendly and inclusive, yet professional brochure design with the aim of appealing to communities in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The soft and contemporary colour palette used throughout the brochure creates a calm and welcoming aesthetic. We also adopted contrasting colours to ensure legibility and accessibility for those reading the brochure on a screen. The clean, modern typeface is legible across all touch points, whilst the use of typographic hierarchy breaks down important information in a clear and easily digestible way. This is further facilitated by the use of bullet points, bar charts and pull out quotes, which highlight key takeaways.
We developed a series of simplistic, yet eye catching illustrations, which were rolled out across the brochure. Friendly and playful without appearing childish, the illustrations add a human touch, appealing to readers, whilst reinforcing the brochures primary focus.

“Thank you so much for your work on the report infographics, and especially the speedy turnaround – they really helped us get to where we needed to be in time for the official launch and circulation to press yesterday.
We’ve had loads of coverage for the recent report today and hoping to get more across the week. Also a huge thanks again for your work on the branding and templates generally. Working the report up using the Citizens Advice Scotland report template didn’t take me long at all and we’re so very happy with how it looks!”
