I was asked to support with designing various event outputs within the framework of the Belgian EU Presidency in the field of Youth (taking place from January 2024 – June 2024).
These were large-scale international events, taking place in Brussels and Ghent:
These were large-scale international events, taking place in Brussels and Ghent:

I used the existing brand guidelines for ‘EU NEEDS YOUTH’ as developed by Bridgeneers, often adapting it to the purple version, in accordance with purple being the main colour for the European Conference on Local Youth Work and Democracy.
Programmes used: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign, Canva.
"Annelies’ strength is not only to create visuals of perfect aesthetics but to also translate the content into the right visuals, listening carefully to the needs and demands. The cooperation with her has always been smooth, she pays attention to details and also delivers excellent products with the agreed (usually tight) timeframe."

PRINT MATERIALS
For the various events I developed a number of print materials, among which:
- Kakemono banners on the outside of the building
- Buttons (to indicate if someone would rather not be photographed)
- Discussion cards for large group discussions
- And various smaller items such as name tags, bus or organisation signs, signs for reserved table/seats and toilet signage.

CONFERENCE REPORT
In addition to creating materials for the preparation phase and during the various events, I was also commissioned to design the report of the European Conference on Local Youth Work and Democracy. It ended up being a 34-page document, including 3 annexes and is an official publication by the Flemish Government. You can read it here.
