Unity Forward
for Plus Value Awareness
A special online feature and insight document with information, insight encouragement and anlysis during on how life affect hidden differences during the pandemic
"Unity Forward" is a special information an encouragement feature I have developed for Plus Value Awareness since the pandemic period and beyond. The features provides a family fo short messages to reminder hidden differences and their surrounding to remind the importance of valuing, tolerance and to have an a open mind without Presumptions.
The Feature is broken down into the follwoing elements
* Morale
* Accomplioshement
* Sense of belomnging
* Mindset
* Allowance
* Well-being
* Stability
The feature also includles a information page titled "in-touch" with online links to the different information and support helplines
My approach to developing this feature is to be up-tempo and vibrant while keeping the information very short and to the point. This was very essential as life can be overbearing and in some kind in some instances can be very negative and deliberating who I wanted to approach this if a lighter and bite-sized content which enables the audience to access information quicker and the encouragement to come back to regularly.
The current presentation online & on social media is second version since this features was redesigned in March 2024 with information modified for beyond the worldwide pandemic. The use of colours are more restricted however the visual designs as part of the presentation are develop to prevent repetativeness.
The previous edition was design and presented using different vibrant colours to strengthen the different messages addressed.
In developing the "Unity Forward" feature during the first and second lockdowns in the UK during 2020, I have been observing many voices which imply that individuals with disabilities whether they are visible or invisible are being constantly ignored and in some cases made to feel undervalued.
So wanted to find a way of creating a family of short messages for online and on social media with positive encouragement at the same time valuing individuals with hidden differences.
