Youth Leads is an award-winning charity dedicated to ensuring young people are not just heard, but listened to and acted upon.

Through impactful skills development programmes, advocacy work that challenges decision-makers, and the publication of Youth Leads Magazine, the organisation is helping shape a better future for young people across the UK.
In a bold move to strengthen its brand identity, Youth Leads has rebranded its flagship publication, transitioning from 'Xplode Magazine' to 'Youth Leads Magazine’.
This change aligns the magazine with the charity's mission, values, and visual identity, proudly featuring the Youth Leads UK logo on the masthead.
With a longstanding creative partnership and several previous editions under our belt, the Far'n'Beyond creative team were delighted to design the first issue under the new brand - eager to bring a fresh look and feel to the publication.

As always, our objective was clear: produce an attractive, informative, and engaging design that is relevant to the target audience.
"Having worked with Youth Leads for well over ten years, designing and printing a wide range of physical and digital assets, it was a pleasure to once again work with the team to bring a fresh look and feel to the popular publication and see them continue their important work to empower young people throughout the UK”
Jonny Delap - Senior Designer
Capitalising on our understanding of the brand and the collaborative relationship that has grown over the last decade, we began work on the design and shared updates throughout.

Carrying the powerful new tagline, 'More Pages. More Voices. More Power.', the Youth Leads Magazine promises to be a vibrant platform for diverse youth perspectives.
The feedback has been positive, and we are confident that the new look of Youth Leads Magazine is set to inspire, inform, and empower young people well into the future.
