The Brief
For this real job, Cristele Saric and I worked collaboratively for our client as part of the CoRAY Project’s production partners. The CoRAY Project is working to produce evidence-based resources for young people aged 11–16, to support them with mental health issues, based on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. As part of the production partners team, we worked with colleagues from BBC Bitesize, Fully Focused and Headliners UK to produce resources in response to the research summary that the CoRAY research psychologists carried out.
This project was untraditional, in the sense that there were no set deliverables or outcomes. We produced briefs as the project developed: the research we carried out informed the deliverables we went on to make.
The design solution
By the end of this project, we produced a set of look and feel guidelines which acted as co-brand guidelines but with a softer and less prescriptive narrative to the document. We also produced a set of social media templates for the researchers to fill out and use to explain their evidence-based advice for young people. All our work was based on our research workshops with a focus group of young people.
