I’ve enjoyed working with the Marketing and Editorial teams at the Fabian Society for the past few years. During the summer of 2020, I was approached by their Editorial director to design a report by author Ben Cooper.
The 40 page paper highlighted the long-standing crisis in arts and culture funding, fuelled by a decade of government cuts, that has left community arts and culture extremely vulnerable to lockdown, especially outside London.
Cultured Communities argues that the centralised public funding of arts and culture is not working, and calls for devolution of power and funding over the arts so that councils and mayors can repair the damage caused by years of cuts and the pandemic.
Using an existing magazine-style template I was able to bring the author’s important findings to life – sourcing appropriate imagery and creating graphical content to help aid readability and get key messages across.
The full report can be downloaded from the Fabian Society website.
