Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute Newsletter Designs

  • Ryan Farrant

The Studies in Poverty and Inequality institute (SPII) required a newsletter to engage the public on issues surrounding poverty and inequality. The goal of the newsletter design was not only to communicate information about poverty and inequality, but also to make this information easily digestible for the readers. The approach was all about consistency. Font styles, colour usage guidelines, grid layout, heading and sub-header styles, and graph styling were all standardised for the publications, ensuring all future designs on the newsletter followed the same look and feel of previous editions. A recent inclusion to the newsletters were infographics. Apart from conveying large amounts of data in small, easy to digest elements, the infographics provide visual clarity to text dense pages of the newsletter.
