Project Overview

UNICEF Pakistan commissioned an awareness campaign for World Breastfeeding Week 2023, targeting low-literacy communities across Pakistan. As lead designer, I created the full visual system and all campaign materials for print, events, and social media — in three languages.

The Challenge

The core challenge was communicating the importance of breastfeeding and maternal health to audiences with low or no literacy, spread across regions with different local languages. The campaign needed to work for people who could not read at all, while remaining accurate and trustworthy for institutional partners.

Objectives: Explain why breastfeeding is essential for child development; emphasise the impact of a mother's health and wellbeing on breastfeeding; and design materials that could be understood quickly through visuals, not just text.

Design Approach

Visual Language for Low Literacy

A vibrant, illustrative style combining icons, simplified figures, and real-life photography to communicate key messages without relying on long copy — legible at a glance.

Multilingual, Flexible Layouts

All key assets designed in three languages on a consistent grid, so typography could change while the visual structure stayed stable. Close collaboration with UNICEF and local partners ensured language accuracy and cultural sensitivity.

Human, Relatable Imagery

Illustrations combined with authentic photos of mothers and babies in everyday contexts, to build trust while keeping the campaign emotionally engaging.

Key Deliverables

Campaign key visual and layout system, posters and leaflets, roll-up banners for events, digital and social media graphics, and stationery for on-ground activations.

Campaign Materials

Outcome & Impact

The final campaign provided a coherent visual language deployed across print, events, and digital channels in three languages. Client feedback highlighted that the strong visuals and human imagery helped make complex health messages more accessible in far-flung, low-literacy areas.

My contribution: I was responsible for the full visual direction and production of all campaign assets, from initial concepts to final artwork in multiple languages — strengthening my skills in social impact design, multilingual layouts, and designing for audiences with diverse literacy levels.

The Challenge

The Islamabad Security Dialogue is a high-profile annual international forum organized by the National Security Division of Pakistan. The challenge was to create a sophisticated visual identity system that communicated gravitas, international standing, and the importance of the dialogue — worthy of representing Pakistan on the world stage.

Research & Strategy

I studied reference materials from comparable international security forums (Munich Security Conference, Raisina Dialogue) to understand the visual language of high-level diplomatic events. The design needed to balance national identity with international accessibility — conveying formality without being inaccessible.

Typography choices were critical: the system required a serif that communicated tradition and authority, paired with a sans-serif for digital and wayfinding applications.

Design Development

Visual Identity

Logo system, colour palette, and typographic hierarchy developed to meet government protocol requirements.

Event Collateral

Conference programs, banners, delegate credentials, and stage graphics designed for the live event.

Digital Assets

Social media graphics, digital banners, and email templates for pre- and post-event communications.

Print Production

High-quality printed materials including booklets, signage, and branded stationery for delegate packs.

Event Materials

Outcome

Visual assets and communication materials were deployed across the full event lifecycle — from pre-event promotion to live event signage and post-event reporting. The visual system successfully communicated the prestige of the forum to an international audience of government officials, diplomats, and security experts.

Overview

CIT Group required comprehensive campaign materials for their environmental safety initiative in Al Ula, Saudi Arabia. The campaign focused on increasing community awareness around environmental preservation and safety protocols in a culturally sensitive region of global heritage importance.

Design deliverables included poster series, digital assets, and on-site visual communications — all adapted to local cultural context while maintaining international brand standards. The campaign resulted in measurably increased community awareness among target audiences.

Monthly Editorial Magazine

Overview

Hilal is Pakistan's oldest and best-known defence and current-affairs magazine, published by ISPR (Inter-Services Public Relations). I contributed layout and visual design across regular monthly issues — including theme-led editions such as the August 2024 Independence Day issue — balancing dense editorial content in Urdu and English with a clear, navigable reading experience.

Design Approach

Editorial Grid

A consistent underlying grid for contents pages, mastheads, and feature spreads kept a large volume of monthly content organised and easy to scan.

Bilingual Typography

Layouts accommodated both Urdu (right-to-left, nastaliq-influenced display type) and English copy, balancing hierarchy across scripts.

Thematic Cover Design

Commemorative issues — such as Independence Day and Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir — received custom illustrated key art tying national iconography (Minar-e-Pakistan, the flag, historical timelines) to the issue's theme.

Key Deliverables

Contents & masthead spreads, feature layouts, commemorative cover art, and a Pakistan history timeline infographic spanning 1947 to present.

Selected Pages

Outcome

The layouts helped Hilal maintain a consistent, professional editorial identity issue after issue, while still giving commemorative editions room for distinctive visual storytelling — strengthening my skills in long-form editorial systems and bilingual typography.

Overview

For book launch campaigns with IMC and UNDP, I designed storyboards and supporting visual materials that carried each publication's narrative from the printed page into launch-event and promotional collateral — covers, invitation and event graphics, and social assets — while keeping every touchpoint on-brand.

The work required translating long-form written content into visual storytelling that could be understood at a glance, ensuring the launch campaigns felt as considered as the publications themselves.
