Employee magazine design
Internal comms competes with an inbox. A PDF newsletter that looks like a memo gets deleted; an issue that looks like a magazine gets opened, and — the part that matters — gets shown to families and posted by staff themselves.
The raw material is usually already there: site visits, long-service awards, project milestones, phone photographs from people on the floor. Ordinary photography is not a problem. Handling it well is a large part of the craft.

Questions we get asked
- Our photographs are taken on phones. Is that a problem?
- No, and it is worth saying plainly: most internal magazines run on phone photography. We colour-correct, crop and place it deliberately. What we cannot rescue is a photograph that is out of focus or too small — the input standards page tells you the minimum.
- Can we run this quarterly?
- That is the usual pattern, and it is what the retainer is for. The first issue builds the template; later issues cost less and turn round faster because the system already exists.
