Brand refresh and roll-out / Health Quality and Complaints Commission
Concept, design and artwork
Set up to help protect the public from inadequate
medical care, HQCC relaunched their complaints
service. Complainants needed to feel confident that
this was a discreet service. However, material still
needed to stand out on crowded medical noticeboards.
I developed a subtle, yet effective set of graphics
suggesting a willingness to listen and act. Friendly
faces, clean graphics and plenty of white space all
contributed to this highly successful campaign.

Annual report / Health Quality and Complaints Commission
Concept, design, photographic art direction and artwork
The first annual report since completing the brand
refresh. This document needed to communicate the
same messages – freshness and approachability.
This was achieved with a clean design, the use of
actual HQCC staff in all key photography and graphics
which complemented the new brand.
