Design Strategy Consultation

Our goal for this Taproot Plus session is to brainstorm ideas to develop a professional and visually engaging design strategy for our nonprofit organization’s magazine, Future Connect. The magazine highlights innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability, and we aim to make it impactful while reflecting our mission to promote collaboration and innovation.

During the session, we would like advice on creating a clean, appealing layout that balances text and visuals, as well as recommendations for templates, fonts, and color schemes that align with our branding. We also seek guidance on presenting articles, interviews, and features in an engaging way, incorporating data visualizations, graphics, and photos to enhance storytelling.

Additionally, we hope to learn about cost-effective tools like Canva or Adobe InDesign and sourcing free or affordable design assets. Finally, we would appreciate tips on creating a magazine that can be shared both digitally and in print while staying budget-friendly. As a newly established organization, this will be our first magazine issue, and we aim to deliver a high-quality publication with limited resources.
