Age Positive
Reports
We’re all living longer healthier lives and people want to (and sometimes need to) work for longer. On top of this, the number of young people coming into the labour market is dropping, so it makes sense for employers to recruit a workforce that has staff from across all age groups and that they utilise skills and experience regardless of a person's age. |
|
|
|
 |
DWP commissioned mmdesign to create a series of guides for online and print that would help remove age discrimination in employment. We wanted to create an enchanting, inviting visual that not only held true to the sentiment of the world of work but also paid tribute to the amazing talent that exist amongst older workforces. We created a montage of several different working environments, interacting harmoniously with each other, giving a glimpse of the underlying mechanics of change, politics and legislation that are driving the creation of a more equal society. |

Benefit Fraud Inspectorate
Closure Report
The Benefit Fraud Inspectorate were set up in 1997 after concerns were raised about the levels of fraud in government funded social benefits. BFI’s mission was to improve they way the benefits system was managed. The Audit Commission have taken over inspecting local services in response to the rationalisation of inspection which aims to better coordinate inspection and reduce its burden and costs.
The BFI closure report is a summary of their achievements.
Our creative approach uses a sober and dignified aesthetic that is formal and engaging. Strong typography, a photo journalistic approach to photography and references to a ‘painterly’ energy give this final report the gravitas that it deserve.
