A growing library of adaptable design assets and content

The Making Open content and design kit is a collection of illustrations, concept maps, explainers, messages, narratives, templates, presentation decks, guides, and much more.

We’ve crafted designs and messages to help people understand and engage with different open government initiatives.

We give you a place to start building your narrative.

A modular design system, you will be able to pick and mix, plug and play the designs, messages, and stories you need. You will be able to add your own branding, colours, and content.

Our storytelling guides help advocates and changemakers connect with different audiences for better engagement and outcomes.

Take your audience on a journey

The Making Open content takes you and your audience from novice to champion and helps implementation teams connect with technical expertise.
