The University of Salford wanted to share new research on how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the relationship dynamics of men who have sex with men.
This topic was both complex and progressive.
So we aimed to design a report that felt inclusive, clear and accessible while being lively and engaging.
With a dual professional and public audience in mind, we developed a creative approach grounded in colour duality. This choice visually challenged conventional narratives around sexuality and brought to life the diverse experiences shared in the study. Through a duotone theme, enriched with imagery, impactful quotes, and accessible data visualisations, we turned the academic into the approachable – making complex findings both engaging and easy to navigate.
To add context, we built a timeline of key Covid-related milestones, including infection rates, political shifts, and regional lockdown rules across the UK> Working closely with the University’s experts, we carefully crafted alt text for all visuals to authentically and respectfully represent the diversity of identities in the report.
Besides a happy client, the project was widely shared across multiple platforms and positioned the University of Salford as a thought leader within the space of behaviour and sexuality.
