NSW Innovation and Productivity Council
Visualising the innovation ecosystem in research reports
New South Wales is home to Australia’s largest population of coworking spaces, accelerators, incubators and startup hubs. This vibrant ecosystem has surged by 325% over the past decade.
Shaping new insights into the innovation ecosystem
The NSW Innovation and Productivity Council (IPC) is an independent assembly of leaders in industry, science, government and academia. This collaborative group delivers vital advice and expertise that influence effective policymaking. The Council’s publications inform policymakers and industry stakeholders of the latest research and international benchmarks.
Since 2017, we have collaborated with the IPC to design reports and visualise their research, focusing on transforming complex theories and data into engaging visual formats. Our mission is to create innovative, eye-catching layouts that adhere to the constraints of NSW’s master brand while communicating intricate concepts.

Highlighting annual achievements
Every year, the IPC’s annual report celebrates significant milestones, emphasising their impact on policy. To enhance these reports, we crafted a unique two-dimensional illustration style that visually encapsulates the year’s key themes.
Creating new perspectives in storytelling
We implemented a modular isometric design system that fosters a cohesive visual identity to reflect various innovation environments. Through collaborative brainstorming sessions with the IPC team, we developed targeted infographics that relay crucial findings, ensuring compelling and memorable content.
Boosting online and event presence
Last year, the IPC reported record downloads and gained remarkable attention from the media and social platforms. Our tailored graphics elevate the branding of events associated with each report launch.

Our reports have received positive feedback from many key stakeholders, demonstrating the visual value Another Colour provides. I have recommended them to others and we look forward to continuing working with them.
