Project
Commemorative brochures

Objective
The Government wanted to mark the bicentenary of the abolition of the Slave Trade Act. They decided to issue a commemorative brochure. This needed to strike a sensitive balance between the history of slavery, the efforts to abolish the trade and aspects of slavery that remain today.

Solution
Our response was to produce a document that was engaging for a broad readership. This involved extensive research to find strong and striking images. The design featured a range of colours using an African theme, combined with a crystal-clear layout. The brochure had to adhere to very strict Government guidelines and to challenging time scales. The response was very positive and DC was commissioned to design a complementary brochure highlighting the issues of modern day slavery and Government activities throughout the year.
