    YouthHubAfrica 2025 Annual Report — Editorial & Publication Design

    YouthHubAfrica 2025 Annual Report — Editorial & Publication Design

    A 45-page flagship annual report designed for YouthHubAfrica, a youth policy advocacy NGO presenting their impact to government officials, institutional partners, and donor organisations across Africa.

    The entire visual system was built from scratch. This included a 6-column grid structure that allowed flexible switching between 2, 3, and 6-column page layouts across different sections, a three-tier typography system using Playfair Display for editorial authority, Montserrat for structure, and Source Sans 3 for body readability, and a warm amber and brown colour palette developed to feel both approachable and institutionally credible.

    Every chart and infographic was designed from scratch in Adobe Illustrator using client-provided data, then placed into Adobe InDesign for final layout. Photography was sourced from the client and supplemented with custom icons and maps. The final deliverables included both a high-resolution print-ready PDF and an optimised digital version for screen distribution.

    The project was completed within a one-week turnaround and received this response from the client on delivery:

    “It has been a pleasure working with you on the design of our Annual Report. We appreciate the creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail you brought to the project. Thank you once again for your excellent work and collaboration. We look forward to the opportunity to work together again.” — YouthHubAfrica Team
