Charles Stanley Direct is one of the leading investment platforms and a prominent provider of direct-to-consumer wealth management services in the UK. When they approached us to design a quarterly magazine for their CSD self-directed clients – investors who build and manage their own portfolios – we eagerly accepted the opportunity. Adopting a soft, more consumer-friendly aesthetic, we introduced a pastel colour palette, graphics elements with rounded curves and corners, and images that literally break through the frame. The content is carefully crafted to offer readers valuable insights and guidance, helping them make informed decisions on their financial journey.
