Comics for The Young Women's Trust

The Young Women's Trust is an organisation helping make the world of work a better place for young women. They recently released a report that focuses on women's rights at work and their awareness of those rights. The Trust came to us to discuss how to visualise parts of their report for the launch - and we came up with the idea of comics!

We worked with the team there to find out the big issues around young women in the workplace and came up with a series of narratives which we distilled into comic strip scripts and sketches. We then worked with comics artist Rebecca K Jones to bring her unique style to the stories.

The strips tell common stories, the deeper details of which can be found in the report. They were printed on A0 boards and taken to the Houses of Parliament for the report's launch. 

This was a special project using the unique communication powers of comics. Working with Rebecca K Jones was a great spin on our usual way of working, you read more about her work here.
