Project context

Independent design concept. Not commissioned by or affiliated with Telstra. Existing Telstra trademarks belong to their respective owners. All layouts, diagrams and motion shown here are proposed portfolio work.

01 / Overview & challenge

Turn the offering
into understanding.

Business owners need to understand what a connection supports, which questions to ask and where to go next.

The design brief

Create a coherent communication system for a small business exploring workplace internet and mobile connectivity. Make the service categories easy to navigate while keeping qualifications and next steps visible.

The approach

Organise content around work contexts, introduce one idea at a time and repeat clear visual rules across the customer’s touchpoints.

02 / Communication language

A familiar brand.
A connected system.

Telstra’s existing logo anchors the applications. The supporting grids, diagrams, colour relationships and motion behaviour are proposals developed for this project, not official brand guidelines.

01 / Existing identity

Existing Telstra mark, sourced from its website. No logo authorship is claimed.

02 / Proposed palette
Blue#123FD2Cyan#00B7E8Coral#FF7643Mist#F3F5F9

Blue establishes continuity; cyan traces connections; coral highlights a focused next step.

03 / Typography
Clarity,
at every scale.

Arial / system sans-serif. A portable type stack with deliberate differences in size, weight and spacing.

04 / Graphic language

Connection paths and rounded nodes organise relationships. They are conceptual graphics, not network infrastructure claims.

05 / Information hierarchy
Category / OrientationOne clear message.Supporting explanation in plain language.A purposeful next step

Category → message → explanation → action. Supporting conditions remain visible.

06 / Layout

Low-fidelity grid studies show headings, columns and content zones without imagery.

03 / Editorial & service communication

One system.
Two levels of detail.

The corporate brochure introduces the business context. The product guide turns that overview into a structured set of questions. Select a publication to explore its eight concept pages.

04 / Environmental applications

A larger canvas.
The same clear idea.

The campaign extends into a retail frontage and a vertical hanging banner. Scale changes the composition, while the message, colour relationships and connection motif remain consistent.

Landscape campaign master / Flat artwork
Adaptation decision

The landscape format leads with one uninterrupted headline. The hanging banner uses a stacked headline and a cropped circular device to remain legible from a distance.

05 / Campaign adaptations

One campaign.
Built for different moments.

The brochure offers detail, outdoor establishes recognition, and digital formats deliver a concise first impression. Each application uses the same core copy and visual vocabulary.

A clearer way to connect.

Responsive web banner / Campaign application, not a live offer
Content continuity

“Connected. For the way you work.” carries the campaign. “Your business. Your connection.” connects the product guide to the story format. The next step points to exploration rather than an invented offer.

06 / Craft & detail

Precision is part
of the message.

01 / Alignment
One clear
starting point.

Shared left edges connect headlines, explanations and next steps.

A consistent reading edge

Headlines, body copy and page navigation share an alignment to reduce visual noise.

02 / Comparison

04 / Compare the questions

Different contexts.
Clearer questions.

A decision framework, not a comparison of Telstra plan specifications.

Structure before decoration

Short labels and meaningful row groups support scanning. This is a question framework rather than a fabricated plan table.

03 / Diagram

Relationships made visible

One graphic vocabulary connects workplace, mobile team and customers without implying a technical architecture.

07 / Corporate touchpoints

Recognisable.
Even in the details.

A restrained stationery system keeps everyday correspondence functional. Contact details below are explicitly marked placeholders.

Functional by design

The business card uses the same typography and connection motif as the publications. The A4 letterhead reserves its central area for correspondence, with a compact identity and contact block.

08 / Campaign motion & reflection

The same language.
A different rhythm.

A 21-second campaign sequence moves from message to editorial, environment and digital applications. Scale, cuts and crops create rhythm while the original typography and connection graphics hold the sequence together. Browser animation; no audio.
