GAPdesign

Since 2010, this Cape Town studio has focused on publication and infographic design for organisations working on social and environmental change, including universities, government-linked bodies and NGOs. The team is small, owner-managed and made up of qualified designers and copywriters, and past project examples include annual reports, transformation publications, career guides, magazines and multi-year report series for clients such as Stellenbosch University, UCT Careers Service, Jembi and Lalela. Work spans print and digital formats and is aimed at organisations wanting complex information presented in a form that is easy to read and share. Services are grouped into publication design, graphic design and brand development, and editorial services. Publication design covers reports, reviews, guides, books, infographics, print and digital production, project management, art direction and training material. Graphic design and brand development include infographics, icons, 2D explainer videos, logos, posters, flyers, brochures, company profiles, marketing collateral and catalogues. Editorial services cover writing, content management, concept development, copy editing, proofreading, translations and interviews. The studio's stated approach centres on turning dense or technical content, such as policy briefs, white papers and toolkits, into visually structured material intended to be read and retained, with design treated as a tool for simplifying communication rather than decoration. Broader services listed for the agency also include SEO, social media marketing and web design, alongside its core publication and graphic design work.
