We work in a range of different creative processes depending on the aims of each project.
Design & Layout
Effective design and layout will make people want to look at and read the information and ideas you want to get across. We cover the basic design principles including typography, page layout and colour theory in a fun and interactive way, looking at magazines, newspapers and websites, often getting scissors and pens out to work through ideas. The end result is that participants can make informed decisions when designing material for print and screen. The specific project might involve producing a newsletter, or just a flyer, but the principles are the same.
Websites
All effective websites are a collaboration between clients, users and builders. We work with young people and adults to develop websites and content that considers the potential user. Effective navigation, look and feel and content can be achieved through fun and interactive processes. There is no more effective way to ensure that a large audience has access to regularly updated information about your organisation or project. We also cover issues around accessibility and the specific challenges posed when designing websites with all of the various platforms and devices on which people now view them.
