Mesh - Redesigning Youth Services

During final year, following up from my research project on UK knife crime, I decided to hone in on creating something that offers creative opportunities to young people. Having looked in depth at existing youth services, I noticed that the majority weren't effectively communicating to their target consumer; this resulted in me adopting a branded approach, inspired by the album artwork, brands, and store interiors that were relevant to the consumer. Mesh was the overarching brand that took form in a number of disciplines: Mesh Magazine - a physical and digital publication that acts as a platform for young people to share creative work. Mesh IRL - a physical youth space for teenagers that offers a number of facilities and workshops led by consumer research. @meshmagazine_ (Instagram) - The social media page that acts as an extension of the magazine, offering people to share work on there, whilst promoting job opportunities via the story highlights.
