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.
