ACA, Australia’s largest single registration body for counsellors and psychotherapists, published Scope of Practice for Registered Counsellors for its members, government and professionals working within the mental health sector.
ACA requested that no photographic images be used. They wanted to avoid stereotypes and did not want to identify any of the content to a person or group.
During concept development, Nikki M Group devised a solution to identify the publication using hand-drawn images inspired by mindfulness drawings. These abstract images are made up of detailed patterns, from perfectly ordered architectural patterns to turbulent van Gogh like swirls. The images are symbolic of different personality types and convey multiple meanings.
The publication has been designed with balanced margins and generous white space. Changes between single and multi-column layouts help to differentiate sections and to present information so it is easy to follow.
Close attention has been given to every character, line, paragraph and heading to ensure readability.
Typesetting qualities include:
