Handbook

Bespoke illustrations and design for a guide for parents

This project was developed with the Head of Communications and with a focus group of parents. We worked together to determine what new parents needed to know about the school, its ethos and procedures, and from this, collectively drafted a design brief for the project.

We developed a series of illustrations of the school site and interior and exterior architectual highlights to be used for the parent handbook, amongst other applications. An initial illustration was presented to confirm the style which would be used for the set of drawings. On completing the suite of images, the layout of the handbook was designed. This included a site map and index. The final design was printed on uncoated stock, black and one Pantone only, and a matt laminate outer cover.

The handbook text is updated annually and re-printed for parents new to the school.
