It has been a while since I posted a publication that we have designed for Volunteering England. Due to this I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to show you the NSS Flyer which is really quite different from what we usually produce for VE. With the main bulk of materials we have designed and produced from this design agency in Sheffield we have had to stick to the brand guidelines produced sometime ago for Volunteering England. The reason why this publication didn't stick so tightly to the guidelines is because both eatsleepthink and VE felt that it would be beneficial to be slightly different due to the even greater importance of the document.
I am sure that just by looking at the first page you can see quite a big difference in the design and layout compared to other VE publications such as Influencing Up Brochure and the October edition of the VE Magazine.
Attached above are the two inside pages of the flyer. This flyer was a very important document for Volunteering England as it was used to show its support and show how they are aiming to incorporate the idea of becoming a big society through volunteering. The big society which is one of the coalition governments big ideas for improving quality of life in the country needs to be shown to have the support of such charities. We feel that volunteering is an ideal way to start to incorporate this idea into the wider community. It could be said that in the form of volunteering their has already been a big society in the country for many years. This flyer is therefore inviting people who want to get involved in this idea of the big society to go along to the nearest conference.
I feel this page is a great way of showing how the idea of the big society can be influenced and grown with the aid of volunteering, the use of pictures of volunteers to make up the shape of the main counties in the country is quite a simple idea but is very effective in getting across VE's message.
Thanks for reading, any comments are welcome.
