🌍 New Project Highlight: We’re proud to have partnered with Plan International on the graphic development of the State of the World’s Girls Report—an important research exploring how conflict is impacting the lives of young girls and boys around the world. 👉 Read the full report in English, Spanish, and French: https://lnkd.in/detikRev This comprehensive study surveyed 9,995 participants across 10 countries, revealing the profound effects of violence, educational disruption, and livelihood loss on young people’s futures. At Doodlio, we worked closely with Plan International to design the 68-page report and executive summary, ensuring the visual storytelling was both impactful and accessible in three languages. From infographics to layout design, our goal was to bring this important data to life for a global audience. 🙌 We’re honored to have played a role in amplifying Plan International’s message and helping highlight the realities faced by young girls in conflict-affected regions. Let’s continue creating work that drives real impact. How do you think the experiences of young people in conflict zones can be better communicated to global audiences to drive more effective action? Let’s discuss! — #MissionDriven #GraphicDesign #Illustration #DataVisualization #VisualStorytelling #GirlsEducation #PlanInternational

🎉 100 subscribers! 🎉 After a bit of end-of-year reflection and to celebrate reaching 100 subscribers on Substack, I've renamed my blog ⚡️ Creative Breakdown is a blog about branding, design and communication in the climate crisis. It's about the visual world and the creative sector, breaking down trends and recurring themes, and the intersection of politics and graphic design. It's about being creative and having a crisis of conscience, and my experience of working in both the commercial and non-profit worlds. It's about trying to do the right thing in your work. Really it's about the kind of stuff that I want to write about. It's my blog. Recently I've written about the merging of corporate branding and political design through the lens of the Harris Walz campaign, Rory Sutherland and the scourge of Wishful Thinking, and how the creative industry might start to transition to a Post-Growth economy. ⚡️ Subscribe to all this and more over at creativebreakdown.blog ⚡️ https://lnkd.in/eQ3YB47c

Living out the vision of Liz Wiseman's insightful book, "Impact Players," which sheds light on the transformative power of community networks! 🚀 In today's interconnected world, the significance of community networks cannot be overstated. As Wiseman beautifully articulates in her book, "Impact Players," harnessing the strength of our networks can truly propel us towards success and innovation. Community networks serve as catalysts for growth, enabling us to tap into diverse perspectives, expertise, and resources. By fostering meaningful connections within our communities, we unlock a wealth of opportunities for collaboration, learning, and professional development. Wiseman's exploration of impact players emphasizes the profound impact of individuals who leverage their community networks effectively. These individuals not only thrive personally but also contribute significantly to the collective growth and prosperity of their communities. As I absorb the wisdom shared in "Impact Players," I am reflecting on the importance of nurturing our community networks I am here for actively engaging with our peers, mentors, and industry experts to build strong relationships that inspire, support, and empower us on our journey towards excellence.
