Ulster University
Ulster University’s ‘Our Census’ campaign provides young people in Northern Ireland with a breakdown of the online Census form and asks them to write up questions or issues arising from it.
Our team at Rapid Agency were faced with the challenge of developing a suite of visual assets for Ulster University’s ‘Our Census’ campaign, and educate them in how they might use the Census data in the day-to-day.
The project included a website design for Our Census, along with a motion graphic video. Overall, we aimed to create highly engaging and bold visual assets to effectively reach and connect with the target audience.
The key objectives of Ulster University’s ‘Our Census’ campaign were:
We crafted a highly engaging and interactive website, featuring intuitive navigation, compelling visuals and concise, informative content. The ‘Our Census’ website was design for accessibility and optimised across various devices. This was key to ensure a seamless user experience.
The web design played a pivotal role in the ‘Our Census’ campaign. The website was used to engage the target audience and provide them with a comprehensive understand of the Census.
