Communication Design Collective
On behalf of the Stadtplanungsamt Leipzig Period 2019
Concept Layout & typesetting Illustration The integrated urban development concept Leipzig 2030 (INSEK) is the binding future strategy for the city's next 10 to 15 years. The strategy paper, which is several hundred pages long, is the result of cooperation between municipal decision-makers and a pronounced citizen participation process. So that the public can also get a picture, the task was to break up the original text and illustrate it in a multi-part print product.
Brochure & Editorial Design
⬤
The "Integrated Urban Development Concept Leipzig 2030" (in short: INSEK 2030) is a multi-part information product consisting of two brochures, maps, leaflet and slipcase.
Citizen Communication
⬤
Our editorial design started by breaking down the technical strategy paper and "translating" it into citizen-friendly terms. The whole brochure "Target image and urban development strategy" is available
here (PDF).
Valuable Print Product
⬤
In addition to PDFs of all individual products, the entire product was also produced in a valuable print edition in a slipcase for display in municipal institutions and multipliers.
Illustration
⬤
To lighten up the challenging content, we developed colorful, lively illustrations.
Infographic
⬤
To match the illustration style, we developed an extensive infographic style.
Visualize!
⬤
What previously threatened to be lost in long continuous texts is now clearly and vividly presented as infographics. That, too, is part of editorial design.
Mapping
⬤
Especially in matters of citizen communication and urban development, maps need to be useful and properly laid out.
Maps on Flaps
⬤
For both brochures of INSEK 2030, we designed a wide variety of map material into a consistent visual language with recurring elements and color codes.
Color Code
⬤
A variety of specialized topics are color-coded as part of the new, multi-part product.
Thumb Index
⬤
The color code is also used in the print product - as a practical thumb index.
Layout concept
⬤
Good editorial design begins with a well thought-out layout. The concept unites all individual products of the INSEK publication.
