YOUTH INSEARCH

An impact report, designed as a funding case.

The Youth Insearch Impact Report is the single most important document the organisation produces — the evidence base it takes to government to secure the funding that keeps its youth suicide prevention work alive in community. The challenge: hold statistical credibility and raw human story in the same document, without one undermining the other. I designed a report that does both — rigorous enough for a policy desk, human enough that you can’t put it down.

INSIDE THE REPORT

From raw data and lived experience to
a document that funds the mission.

Government funders need evidence. Young people need to be seen. The design system I built lets both live on the same page.

The report opens the way a funding conversation should — vision, mission and belief set against a full-bleed image of young people holding each other up, then straight into a data-rich highlights spread.

Around the stories, the report builds institutional credibility layer by layer and demonstrates exactly where every government dollar lands.

Selected spreads only — the full report belongs to Youth Insearch.

WHAT IT DELIVERED

A report that works as hard
as the program it represents.

The finished document moves seamlessly between audiences — a Minister’s office, a philanthropic board, a corporate partner, a parent deciding whether to trust the program with their child. One design system, one voice, every page laddering up to the funding ask.

  • A dual-register design language — infographic rigour for funders, warm editorial storytelling for community — held together by one cohesive brand system

  • Outcome data (7/10 distress reduction, 7/10 suicide risk reduction) elevated into hero moments, not buried in appendices

  • Four lived-experience stories art-directed with dignity and distinct visual identities

  • Consistent, accessible layouts across 26+ pages that photograph well, print well and present well in a funding meeting
