Over the last couple of years we’ve been very pleased to have been involved with On Our Radar, a non-profit organisation that helps to give an effective and affordable voice to marginalised and offline communities. The Radar print design brief is an ongoing process which we return to and update when needed.
In this post, I take a closer look at some of the icons and illustrations that have gone into the various handbooks and tool kits we have worked on with OOR. For a look at the books themselves, please visit the On Our Radar project page.

On Our Radar bitmap illustrations
The following illustrations were inked from reference photos supplied by On Our Radar. Anonymity is essential for the citizen reporters, so we decided to use illustrations rather than photos. As time was fairly short, most of these were created in the same day, using Clip Studio Paint for the inking, and utilising the patterns and stock ‘materials’ from the application for backgrounds.
More can be seen of the handbooks and tool kits on the On Our Radar project page.
