Looking to work on practice projects that help you improve your design skills whilst doing something good for the world / yourself at the same time? Our Design For Good Brief Set with 4 industry standard design projects can give you that spark for design and help you bulk out your portfolio with examples of working in the charity sector,  on pro-bono campaigns and social change initiatives.

The projects in this set have been created by practising industry professionals who have over 15 years experience working for various agencies across multiple different sectors. Inspired by the type of briefs we would work on for live clients, we've re-purposed past projects into practical, guided briefs that help you improve your design skills and create portfolio ready case studies that get noticed in the industry.
