Projects

- Equality and Human Rights Commission Graphic Design FrameworkThe projects worked on were for both print and digital design. where the design was led by the Commission’s branding guidelines, with the specific aim of producing clear, concise and accessible documents.

Up until then, the designs were bold culminating in 2018’s tenth anniversary celebratory report, which was both a review and a reflection of the charity’s first decade. T
