Creative Youth Toolkit

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR AFRICA’S EMERGING CREATIVES BUILT AS A NO-FLUFF RESOURCE, THE CREATIVE YOUTH TOOLKIT EQUIPS YOUNG CREATIVES WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN THE INDUSTRY. IT SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO 11 CREATIVE SECTORS INCLUDING MUSIC, FASHION, FILM, GAMING, AND MORE. MY ROLE I LED THE DESIGN AND CONTENT DEVELOPMENT, TRANSLATING INSIDER KNOWLEDGE INTO AN ACCESSIBLE, MODULAR ZINE. THE DESIGN IS UTILITARIAN AND INTENTIONAL VISIBLE GRIDS, SHORT PUNCHY TEXT, AND REAL IMAGES OF CREATIVES AT WORK, CRAFTED TO FEEL USEFUL, NOT ORNAMENTAL. DESIGN DIRECTION INSPIRED BY CREATIVE PROCESS AND CLARITY, THE LAYOUT PRIORITISES USABILITY. EACH SECTION FUNCTIONS LIKE A TOOLKIT: SIMPLE, DIRECT, AND ROOTED IN REAL CREATIVE WORK.
