Strategic visual communication with heart.
Commissioned by Bristol Refugee Festival across two consecutive years, this editorial system encompasses the complete 2024 and 2025 Evaluation and Impact Reports. The festival brings together thousands of residents, community partners, and people seeking sanctuary across Bristol.
