MOVE TO END VIOLENCE
I had the privilege of designing a comprehensive Healing Justice Toolkit for Move to End Violence, an organization dedicated to ending violence and promoting healing within marginalized communities. This toolkit serves as a vital resource for activists, organizers, and community leaders, providing them with the tools and knowledge to foster healing, resilience, and justice in their work.
Concept and Inspiration:
Understanding the deep-rooted impact of trauma and violence on communities, I aimed to create a toolkit that was not only informative but also visually soothing and empowering. The design was inspired by principles of healing justice, focusing on holistic well-being, community care, and transformative practices.
Calming Color Palette: I selected a palette of soft, calming colors to create a sense of peace and tranquility. These colors were chosen to evoke feelings of safety and comfort, essential for a resource aimed at healing.
Intuitive Layout: The toolkit features an intuitive and user-friendly layout, making it easy for readers to navigate through various sections. Clear headings, subheadings, and icons guide users through the content seamlessly.
Visual Storytelling: Utilizing illustrations, infographics, and visual metaphors, I transformed complex concepts into easily digestible and engaging visuals. This approach helps in breaking down information and making it accessible to a diverse audience.
Cultural Sensitivity: Every element of the design was crafted with cultural sensitivity in mind, ensuring that the toolkit resonates with and respects the diverse backgrounds of the users.
Empowering Imagery: The toolkit includes empowering imagery that reflects the strength, resilience, and beauty of the communities it serves. These visuals are designed to inspire hope and a sense of collective empowerment.
