The ONS Energy Agenda is a biennial report exploring the key questions, challenges and opportunities shaping the future of global energy.

I contributed to the visual development of Volume 3, working alongside the ONS communications team to find imagery that could help bring the report’s broad and complex topics to life.

Approach

My role focused on image research and visual curation, including selecting the cover image and supporting imagery throughout the publication.

I read through the different sections and looked for visuals that did more than simply illustrate the content. The aim was to find images that added context, created a feeling or perspective, and helped the reader connect with the stories and ideas being explored.

With a wide range of topics and perspectives across the report, I focused on creating a cohesive visual language while making sure each image felt purposeful and relevant to the story it accompanied.

Result

The final selection created a cohesive visual thread throughout the publication, helping guide the reader through complex topics while adding personality and depth to the report. From the cover to the individual editorial sections, the imagery became part of the storytelling, supporting the content rather than simply sitting alongside it.
