Design

Mote Oo’s design team provides graphic design, print layout and illustration services to organisations and non-profits across Myanmar. With our background in creating curriculum, we know what good design for education looks like. All of our print layout designs are road-tested and trialled with partners to make sure we deliver products that are visually striking but also focus on usability.

We have expanded our design services offer in recent years to include reports for NGOs, research publications and books - keeping our ‘user-focused’ design at the heart of what we do. Our experience with the development sector helps us visually interpret thematic areas, provide better infographics and deliver multilingual print layout for annual reports, research findings and training manuals.

We provide both English and Myanmar language graphic design, as well as copy editing, proofreading and printing services to deliver you a complete visual product. Quick turnaround times may be possible on request.

Myanmar Parliament booklet for Hanns Seidl Foundation

Mote Oo co-designed and illustrated an education handbook on the Myanmar Parliament on behalf of the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Hluttaw itself. The Myanmar-language and English resources were designed to explain, in lay terms, the roles, functions and processes of Myanmar’s Hluttaw and of the drafting and passing of bills into law.

‘Learning Skills’/’Research Skills’ for Mote Oo Education

The graphic design of our in-house Learning Skills and Research Skills books took place alongside the design of the modules themselves. We employed a clean, tactile design with colour-coded sections to help students identify specific activities and symbols to highlight learning goals. Ease of reference was key in this project; the design needed to accomodate students using the book for short periods and to review text.

The New Teacher’ series for Mote Oo Education

Mote Oo’s four-part book series for new and in-service teachers was designed with a focus on practically and multi-user learning. Our design uses bold colours for each chapter reference, striking task bars and a clean layout to ease the transition between teacher and student. High colour values help learners with visual impairments and allow easy photocopying in schools while an uncluttered format keeps the focus on the content.

Research project report for a Myanmar-based organisation

Mote Oo designed the graphics, layout and front cover for a research report for a Myanmar-based NGO. The project, which has been redacted for this sample, took sensitive information and research and presented it using the theme of ‘connections’ to show the interplay between different aspects of a project. A differentiated approach to various sections created clean divisions between research findings and background information to create a strong narrative.
