The Opportunity

Collaborating closely with the team at DIA for the Inquiry into Mental Health in New Zealand, MSO Design embarked on a mission to create a brand that would inspire and motivate various communities and stakeholders across the country to contribute. Our goal was to develop a compelling brand identity and a range of collateral, both print and digital, to guide individuals to the appropriate channels to have their voices heard.

Our Solution

After extensive consultation, MSO was entrusted with compiling the Mental Health Inquiry Report. Our approach was to create a report that was accessible and understandable to people from diverse demographics. We prioritized information architecture to ensure clarity and ease of comprehension. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of incorporating the voices of the people throughout the report. This led to the creation of a series of illustrations by our in-house illustrator, punctuating the report with engaging visuals.

The Outcome

The outcome of our collaboration with DIA was a comprehensive Mental Health Inquiry Report that effectively conveyed the voices and insights of diverse communities across New Zealand. Through thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail, we created a report that was not only easy to read and comprehend but also visually engaging. The inclusion of illustrations added depth and richness to the report, making it accessible to a wide audience. Overall, our partnership with DIA resulted in a well received report that served as a valuable resource for understanding and addressing mental health challenges in New Zealand.
