Design and photography
Work made slowly, for people who make things
Identity, print and photography for small makers, publishers and the occasional museum.
Selected work
Three recent commissions
A longer list is on the work page, with the older projects underneath.
A press for a small publisher
A wordmark, a type system and the production files for eight titles a year, built so the publisher can set new covers without help.
A catalogue for a ceramics studio
Two hundred pieces photographed on one grey morning, then laid out as a catalogue that works printed and on a screen.
Signage for a workshop building
Painted signs, door numbers and a plan at the entrance, drawn to be repainted by the tenants themselves.
How a commission runs
Three stages, no surprises
01
A conversation
One hour, no fee, to decide whether the work is worth doing at all.
02
A written proposal
Scope, stages, fee and dates on two pages, signed before anything starts.
03
Files you own
Everything is handed over in open formats, with the fonts licensed in your name.
Clients
What they say afterwards
We were given the files, the fonts and an afternoon of teaching. Two years later we still set our own covers.
A publisherIdentity commission
Commissions open from the spring
Two projects run at a time, so the calendar fills early.
