The Public wants what our clients want; whether that’s eradicating violence against women, fighting for labour rights, or combating homophobia, we’re devoted to creating materials that support and amplify your vision for a better world. Our services include: graphic design, web development, co-creative workshops, strategic branding, and creative campaigning. Check out some of our work below!
Women's Shelters Canada
We created a logo that reflects the variety of shelter/transition house services and organizations, and the connective paths generated by Women's Shelters Canada.
Planned Parenthood Toronto
We worked with a youth design team to develop a website and campaign that encourages straight and cisgender high school youth to challenge everyday instances of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.
Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network
The Public worked with CHL to design an annual report that connects different aspects of change.
This video and booklet guides applicants while affirming the value and possibilities of the artistic work being done by young people facing multiple barriers in Ontario.
The Public worked with CATIE to create an annual report that highlighted their work to share and strengthen knowledge.
The Public developed the creative and graphic design of this campaign that frames the process of confronting or acknowledging White privilege as the first in a longer plan to better relate to students, and ultimately to build a better world.
This is Our Community is a bisexual anti-stigma campaign designed to bust myths, create pride around the bisexual label, and combat bi-phobia among LGTQ communities.
STIs can be managed or cured, but the damage of stigma isn’t so easily undone.
This “survival guide” encourages feminist law students to read between the lines of the law, and to find ways of applying radical politics to their legal education.
This campaign is aimed to lesbian/bi/queer cis-gendered women in the fight for equity in their sexual health, and to health practitioners to create safe spaces for queer women.
We worked with members of the WSWPap campaign working group to help trans guys to talk about sexual health, while challenging health practitioners to create safe, trans-inclusive spaces.

The Ontario Women’s Health Network conducted an extensive survey, listening to and documenting the voices of diverse women across Ontario on their experiences accessing health care. The result is an extensive report, containing the voices of more than 350 women from different class brackets, ethnic backgrounds and status living across Ontario.
In 2011, we rolled out a new branding system for the Centre for Women and Trans People at York. In isolation, the logo states the official organizational name, but in context, the name changes to reflect the current political foci of the centre, and to communicate the diversity within its scope of work.
