For UNFPA, Rec Design developed the editorial and graphic design of Think Accessibility! – UNFPA Communication and Engagement Guidelines on Accessibility, a practical publication created to help UNFPA staff and partners embed accessibility and disability inclusion into communication and engagement from the outset, rather than treating accessibility as an afterthought.The design translates a comprehensive set of guidelines into a clear, approachable and highly functional publication, using a strong visual hierarchy, intuitive navigation, accessible typography, colour, icons and graphic elements to organize complex information and support different ways of reading and consulting the content.
Particular attention was given to balancing UNFPA’s visual identity with the publication’s core principle: that inclusive communication should be clear, usable and accessible by design.
Developed as both a reference document and a practical everyday tool, the publication demonstrates how thoughtful editorial design can reinforce the message it communicates—making accessibility an integral part of the communication process itself. The guidelines were also made available in French and Spanish, extending their use across UNFPA’s global network.
