We were asked by CNAH and SA department of Health to develop a calendar – both educational and visually attractive – that could be used in a promotional way and to raise awareness of mental health issues in the aboriginal community.

Department of Families, Housing, Community Services & Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) commissioned us to develop a flip-chart utilising illustrations and pictograms to help explain changes to law, and other aspects of the NT Intervention. This was primarily an educational tool that was used to explain legal concepts to Indigenous communities, where English is often a second or third language.

Illustrations were tested with Indigenous community members to ensure that they were appropriately toned and respectful, as well as accurately describing the changes that were occurring. Personally, we didn’t support the intervention, but felt it was important that people understood the changes taking place.

This design was a finalist in this year’s AGDA Awards, for instructional book design.
