Taith is also looking for development of tangible media products such as, merchandise, pull-up banners, leaflets, infographics (for reports, social media and posters as examples) etc. These are likely to be one-off items and required on an ad hoc basis.  All designs must align with Taith\u2019s brand guidelines and fit with our tone and style.  The designs need to meet accessibility best practices particularly in relation to high colour contrast, readable font sizes and to be screen reader friendly.  The design format should be JPEG or similar and include high resolution for print and web-ready versions.  Within Taith we use Canva, and when working on editable files, we would need the original working files in this format.  The designs should aim to reflect our strategy with a focus on people from underrepresented groups.  All outputs will be required in Welsh and English. Taith should retain full rights (IP) to the designs and any stock images must be royalty-free or appropriately licensed.  ",
