Overview
An admissions prospectus for the 2027 intake at Star of Hope Independent School, a Grade R to 12 school in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga. It is a design concept. The school supplied no logo, colours or photographs, so every name, figure and image in it is a placeholder, and the document says so.
Challenge
Families read a prospectus to decide whether a school is worth a visit. The design had to feel like a real, warm school and give a clear route through phases, fees and admissions, while making it obvious that the specifics are stand-ins.
Solution
Twelve A4 pages run from a word from the Head through values, the four phases of schooling, academics, life outside the classroom, the campus and an ordinary Tuesday, to fees and five steps to a confirmed place. Placeholder figures carry a label where they appear, and the last page sets out what the finished prospectus would need from the school.
Process
- 01
Structure
Ordered the pages the way a family decides: trust first, then detail, then the next step.
- 02
Design
Gave each section its own colour field inside one type system, so twelve pages still read as one document.
- 03
Labelling
Marked every illustrative figure and placeholder on the page where it appears.
- 04
Print
Added a save-as-PDF button and print styles, then exported the twelve-page PDF.
