Ethical design style for conscious law brand and publications.
A beautiful brand with a design full of value, for Elaine Quinn, Editor in Chief, The Conscious Lawyer, London.
Elaine’s question: “I came across your freelance graphic design agency today when I was searching for ethical design agencies. I am a part-time freelance lawyer in the process of founding a magazine-style publication on new and emerging initiatives in law that have as their core purpose the promotion of wellbeing (whether of humans, animals, nature or the earth itself).
I require design assistance in developing the first edition of the magazine i.e. branding, template design and layout. As an initial step, I will need to know more about what would be required and associated costs.”
Elaine’s thoughts: “I feel blessed to have found Helen and the OneLine Design team at the beginning of my project to create The Conscious Lawyer magazine. As well as being incredibly creative and cutting edge, Helen and her team are practical, efficient and hard-working. Every detail of the project was attended to and I felt from early on that I was in good and trustworthy hands.
Being a start-up and a not-for-profit, at various times during the process, Helen and I have had to have conversations about budgeting and resources. I have found Helen to be upfront, honest and well aware of the challenges for my type of business/organisation so I have always felt comfortable and understood in discussions with her.
As for the magazine logo, branding and design, it has exceeded expectations and I have received nothing but positive feedback and praise. It feels fresh, authentic and very close to the vision I had at the outset of the project. In my view, Helen and One Line are an invaluable design team to have as part of any project.” — Elaine Quinn
Even better: The Conscious Lawyer trailblazing ethical law makers.
What we did: Kicking off with our brand discovery quiz we were able to support Elaine to prepare her brand strategy and story. After a process of consultation and brand archetype profiling, we began to translate this strategy into the visual identity. This included creating the logo design, colour system, typographic hierarchy, brand consistent photography filters and branded stationery including a business card and letterhead.
With the strategy and identity in place, we got to work creating a master template for Elaine’s magazine. The design takes on board the perception Elaine wants to create for the brand and presents a professional yet approachable publication which inspires — download this beautiful magazine here. Whilst typesetting the copy we got sucked into the content and can’t recommend The Conscious Lawyer highly enough if you’re keen to find out who and what is trailblazing in the world of ethical law.
Moving forward into the marketing phase we continue to produce flyers, posters and adverts for the brand which help Elaine to present a consistent image for her social media and digital marketing activities. We were particularly impressed with the newbie to our team Daniel’s animation for The Conscious Lawyer logo reveal which was an eye-catcher when it came to facebook and twitter post engagement.
It doesn’t stop there. As Elaine continues on her lean growth start-up business plans we will be helping her with the website design and an advertising media kit.
