Caring through Crisis: Covid-19 Handbook is a book version of a series of seven factsheets that Carers NSW commissioned me to design, to assist carers through the Covid-19 pandemic with advice and guidance. The factsheets (and handbook) provides specific information for young carers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander carers, and people who are caring for…
A4 size flyers I designed to promote the Carers NSW Young Carer Research Project (YCRP) and the LGBTQI+ and Hidden Carers Project. The first YCRP flyer was aimed at a parents and over 25 audience, the second YCRP flyer was aimed at the 16-25 years age group. The flyers use the Carers NSW colour palette…

For this year’s one the brief was a comic book/pop art look, with the monthly safety themes linked to a list of pop songs they provided. I put the layout together with comic images sourced from Shutterstock…

The scheme arranges visits between bilingual volunteers and elderly people from various multicultural backgrounds who are often isolated and lonely in nursing homes and aged care facilities. In 2014 I…
For the last couple of years I’ve done the Sydney Local Health District’s (SLHD) Year in Review documents. They have a very clear idea of how they want them to look – in particular they like the magazine style layout rather than a corporate document style. The books are usually around 36 pages, and because…
I’ve designed a number of newsletter templates for various health agencies as well as designing and laying out HealthShare NSW’s own monthly newsletter. These templates have been in different formats depending on the software and skills available at the various workplaces, including Publisher, InDesign and sometimes Word. Designing documents in Word is a bit of a…
Year in Reviews are like Annual Reports, and are projects that you get to experiment more with design than the normal everyday projects. Here are a few pages from the HealthShare NSW Year in Review 2012-13. The blue and green is the established branding of HealthShare NSW, the photos are all of NSW Health or HealthShare NSW…
