No matter the project, medium or platform, we follow 3 design principles to help guide us in making the right creative decisions for our products and experiences.
- Our design should address users wants and needs, not make them change their behaviours to fit around us. We test our messages and products to reflect the understanding of our audiences.
- The end product of our design process should be the creation of communications that are useable and accessible by everyone, reflecting the open and inclusive education we offer.
- Our communications should be clear, concise and transparent, conform to relevant legislation and avoid misleading or confusing our audiences. Simple, ethical, user-focused choices create better experiences for everyone.
Detailed guidance on how to apply our brand assets is available on the pages below.
