Graphic Design – Children’s Car Museum Passport

We are seeking a volunteer graphic designer to create a print ready “passport” for children and young people visiting the Motor Museum of Western Australia. The passport will look and function like a real passport, with pages for themed destination stamps that children collect as they find specific vehicles around the museum. This new resource will support a more engaging, self‑guided trail for families and help young visitors connect with Western Australia’s motoring heritage in a fun and memorable way.

Key duties

• Design a child‑friendly, A6 or similar size passport.
• Incorporate page layouts that allow space for multiple rubber stamps, with clear prompts so children can match each stamp to a vehicle or display in the museum.
• Develop a cohesive visual style (cover, inner pages, icons, headings, and simple instructions) that echoes the look and feel of a real passport while remaining playful and accessible for primary school–aged children.
• Prepare print‑ready files (including bleed, margins, and printer specifications) by an agreed deadline so the passports are ready for use in the December school holidays.
• Liaise with the Marketing Coordinator to refine the concept, page flow, and any simple content elements such as titles, short activity prompts, or numbering systems to help wayfinding around the museum.

Skills and experience

• Experience in graphic design, with the ability to produce engaging layouts for print.

• Confidence using professional design software (for example, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or equivalent tools) and exporting print‑ready files.

• An eye for detail, particularly around typography, spacing, and readability for children and families.

• Ability to interpret a brief and incorporate feedback to achieve a polished final product.

• An interest in museums, heritage, tourism, or family experiences is highly regarded but not essential.

  About the organisation and impact

• This project supports the Motor Museum of Western Australian, a not-for-profit who are dedicated to preserving and sharing motoring history through a large and diverse vehicle collection. By creating this passport, you will directly enhance the visitor experience for children and families, encouraging exploration, learning, and repeat visitation. Your design will be used at the front counter as a free resource, helping volunteers and staff engage with young visitors and making the museum more welcoming and interactive for the community.

  Benefits of volunteering:

• Build your portfolio with a tangible, family‑focused print project for the tourism and museum sector.

• Gain experience working to a real‑world brief, including collaboration, refinement, and delivery to professional print standards.

• Contribute your creative skills to support education, heritage, and community engagement in Western Australia.

• Flexible, project‑based role that can be completed remotely, with meetings and reviews scheduled at mutually convenient times.
