As part of my role as art director at volunteering charity Join In, I managed a team that produced this comic. It fulfilled a two main functions: a programme for 30,000 people at the Go Local event at the Olympic Park, and an educational tool for participants and volunteers across the Join In Summer 2013 campaign.
Bringing together the campaign theme of Local Heroes, the comic covered Go Local performers bios, an update on the Olympic Park, case studies and educational material about volunteering. It was presented in an engaging, fun and informative design. As the patron of Join In, Eddie Izzard appeared as the leader of the Local Heroes – watch the films that were produced as part of the campaign here.
