MY APPROACH

Collaborating with the creative team (including Charlotte McKay and Rik Hopkinson), I contributed to the visual direction that emphasised accessibility and excitement around digital change. We employed a clean, contemporary layout with bold sans-serif typography and a lively colour scheme to make complex ideas feel approachable and forward-looking. The spreads were crafted to communicate opportunity amid rapid technological evolution visually.
