About the Project
Turning reporting into something people want to learn.
The Power of the Pen: YPD Reporting 101 was created as a promotional poster for a youth-focused educational session on reporting within the YPD context. The aim was to take a practical organisational topic and present it in a way that felt accessible, memorable, and visually inviting.
Instead of treating the piece as a standard information flyer, I built the creative direction around the atmosphere of a classroom and study environment. Chalkboard textures, hand-drawn notations, sketch-style iconography, books, and educational references helped position reporting as something that can be taught, learned, and confidently understood.
I designed the custom YPD pattern and board graphic in Adobe Illustrator, then developed the final composition in Adobe Photoshop. The poster combined original vector elements with selected stock imagery from Unsplash to create a layered editorial scene rather than a flat announcement graphic.
The final outcome balanced information design, concept development, illustration, and digital composition. It made a functional ministry topic feel more approachable for a younger audience while still respecting the structure and seriousness of the message.
This project reflects my approach to service-based design: creating visuals that do more than decorate information — they shape how a message is received, understood, and remembered.
Project Thesis
Educational design works best when it turns instruction into invitation.
