LGBT Youth Scotland

LGBT Youth Scotland is a charitable organisation based in Scotland that aims to support, educate and advocate for LGBTQ+ young people aged 13 to 25. They provide a range of services and resources to empower young people and promote equality and inclusion for all. We had the honour of working with LGBT Youth Scotland on their strategy report and we couldn’t be happier with the final product.

LGBT Charter Posters

Our design approach for the posters, intended for display in offices and school corridors, incorporates a clear and accessible presentation of information through the use of colour-coded sections and a structured grid. To ensure readability across both digital and print formats, we limited the use of fonts to the main sans-serif brand font. The integration of LGBT Youth Scotland’s branding is subtle but present, according to strategic aims.

Education Workbooks

Attention to the hierarchy of information, alongside the strategic use of pull-quotes, ensures that content is presented in an engaging and easily digestible manner. The use of rainbow colours is restrained, avoiding cliché while still proudly representing LGBTQ+ identity, as seen in the delicate rainbow lines accentuating the margins on select pages. Graded-out arrows not only guide the user’s progression through the material but also symbolise forward momentum and progress.

Strategy Report

The report makes use of bright, bold colours throughout the report to create a sense of inclusivity and positivity. We included muted versions of the rainbow flag, as they are an immediate LGBTQ+ signifier, but muted them so that the overall effect isn’t overstimulating. To make the report accessible, we used a clear and consistent layout of fonts for headings, subheadings and body copy to make important information stand out. 

It was the first time working with Cecilia and their team and it certainly won’t be the last! Their fast and reliable communication, creative input, care and structured approach is second to none. We loved how they used our existing brand guidelines to produce something that is fresh, engaging and eye-catching – exactly what we needed our new strategy document to look like!
