Community Catalysts is a brilliant social enterprise (CIC) dedicated to a vital mission: ensuring people across the UK have choices when it comes to local care, health and community support. A key part of their work involves supporting individuals to launch their own community enterprises.

Design for impact

I was brought in to lead the design on a 40-page comprehensive brochure for the organisation. Because the project involved multiple team members contributing content, we began with a collective online briefing to align on the requirements and establish a firm production timeline. After all it’s all about working to everyones strengths and expertise with our projects. Once the content was finalised, I developed the design using their established in-house style guide. It was essential that the new brochure integrated seamlessly with their existing marketing materials.

The final design resulted in a fully branded 40 page interactive PDF to download from their website. Everything was signed off in the right order so once it was all approved a print quality file was also supplied ready to hand over to their printers.

Here’s what the Communications Manager had to say about our collaboration:

Jane got to know us and what we wanted, listened carefully and got us where we needed to be. Jane advised us that it’s best to have as much of the content signed off before the designs starts as once we’d seen the design work, small changes were needed which were factored in the quote. Jane was able to bring her own perspective and knowledge as an enterprise leader and made a suggestion on the final version. We wouldn’t have included that point without her input so that was really helpful!

“Jane led me through the process confidently and at all times she was helpful and supportive. She has real creative skill and an eye for design, I think that was the reason why I chose Jane to work with, but what I think sets her apart is her approach. Jane is straightforward, positive, clear and really easy to work with. It makes a real difference.”
Paul Reid, LCR Consulting

“Having worked with iD Creative to develop our new brand they were the obvious choice when we needed materials for our first in-person conference for a few years. From brief to print the service was end-to-end and the communication was easy and responsive.”
Russell Seymour, BASIS CEO

“We are incredibly pleased with Jane’s work on the PerfectFit Lick Mat designs. She went the extra mile, not only helping us get all the designs completed on time for the product launch but also sourcing unique packaging that adds a special touch to the product. Jane also designed an informative and user friendly booklet to accompany the product, showing her attention to detail and commitment to quality.”
Steph Chamings, PerfectFit Harness

“From the initial meeting to clarify the details and project timescales, through to the launch, there was a good understanding of our needs. With regular communication, Jane was always on hand to address queries. ID Creative Design have a list of trusted suppliers, which saved us time and also meant that designs were tailored to particular print media. The final design translated seamlessly across our website and on all printed material.”
