We partnered with the La Trobe University Care Economy Research Institute (CERI) to design a 31-page research report commissioned by the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (Ovens Murray Area). The research provides a critical overview of evidence-based strategies to address youth violence, combining an umbrella literature review with secondary data analysis of justice-involved youth in the region.

Given the complexity of the socio-economic drivers behind youth violence, our design strategy was intentionally aspirational and uplifting. We moved away from the negative visual tropes often associated with youth justice, instead selecting positive, high-energy photography to focus on the potential and resilience of young people. By pairing this imagery with a bold colour palette and clean typography, we translated complex prevention science and data monitoring into an approachable and accessible document. Our goal was to create a visual framework that supports integrated, responsive service delivery while honouring the humanity of the vulnerable youth at the centre of the research.
