Everything is Connected celebrates the opening of UCL’s new neuroscience centre. Each artwork asks how art, science and community can work together to exchange ideas and express the wonder of the human brain.


The identity was built in p5xjs using Brownian motion. Imagery was generated by a series of traced particles that create random connections over time.

The Townshend Studio is a creative space at the University of West London, designed for learning, collaboration, experimentation, and play. It features a collection of iconic synthesisers donated by Pete Townshend, co-founder and guitarist of The Who.

Our graphic identity expresses the innovative spirit of Roy Ascott’s Ground Course and the synthesisers themselves. Coloured acrylic and metal panels create a visual and material connection to the instruments. Throughout the studio, a network of stories, statements, histories, and images pay tribute to the radical legacy of Ealing Art College, Pete Townshend, and other significant local figures.

Ebbsfleet Citizen Archive is a community-led project by Cement Fields capturing and preserving the varied stories and histories of the people and places of Ebbsfleet, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, and Northfleet, as the area goes through a significant moment of change.

The website allows local residents and archivists to submit photographs, video and audio stories connected to specific locations in Ebbsfleet to create a historical record of the place that grows over time.

Views From Convalescent Hill is an online public collection exploring the heritage of wellbeing, rest, and care in Felixstowe.

Through oral histories and research drawn from archives, objects, and residents, the project aims to uncover and share personal stories and memories of Felixstowe as a spa town and a place for convalescence, while considering what ‘health’ means to people today.

For the project’s visual identity we designed a typeface inspired by lettering found in archival photographs of Felixstowe and created a set of viewpoint symbols. The website design features pages that overlay each other and an archive that rearranges as you explore it.

West London has been home to workshops that contributed to some of the country’s most iconic science fiction films and television shows. Set To Stun celebrates the people who created these imaginative worlds. The exhibition presents the work of set designers, model makers, prosthetic makeup artists, composers and many others.

Our graphic identity pays homage to the visually experimental title sequences of early sci-fi programmes such as Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The exhibition design creates an immersive experience for visitors through the recreation of iconic sets and interaction with props. Bold typographic statements throughout bring the galleries to life.

We designed notebooks, magnets, stickers, and bags featuring iconic symbols and photography from the exhibition.

Play Interact Explore was an exhibition of interactive artworks by Leap Then Look at Towner Eastbourne.

The exhibition was developed through a series of workshops with four community groups in Eastbourne and Brighton with the goal of supporting and encouraging playful exploration and critical thought through art making. 

We designed a visual identity that referenced the artworks on display, exploring connection and collaboration through simple graphic shapes and playful typography.

The Directors is a collaboration between artist Marcus Coates and five individuals in recovery from different lived experiences of psychosis. Positioned behind the camera, each of them directs Coates in a filmed restaging of particular episodes from their lives.

The five short films were screened across five locations in Pimlico, in and around the Churchill Gardens Estate, each within a short walking distance of the other.

We designed titles, printed material, signage and wayfinding for the project. Through a simple use of strong colour and clear typographic treatment, our identity focused on functionality without overshadowing the important subject matter of the work.

This Must Be The Place is a three-year placemaking programme of research, artists residencies, and co-commissions created collaboratively with young people from Ebbsfleet.

The identity was developed through co-design workshops with students at North Kent College, in which we designed icons to describe the kind of towns we would like to live in.

The project website is an archive of the programme and a tool to encourage participation in upcoming activities and events.

This Must Be The Place is a Cement Fields project.

‘;-) :-& ;-o New Town Culture: Art for Young People’ was an exhibition held at Valence House Museum made by artist Rebecca Davies for young people to hang-out in and to show adults how to be creative. The work in the exhibition was made in art clubs with children, teenagers, and foster carers from across Barking and Dagenham.

We designed an identity around a set of parts that formed a custom typeface applied across the exhibition and publication. Colour and texture were used in the space to highlight each area of activitiy and to encourage interaction. 

The project was commissioned by New Town Culture, a programme of creative activity taking place in adult and children’s social care across the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It explores how artistic and cultural experiences can reframe the work of social care and support adults and children in need of social care services.

Airspace is a collaborative, artist-led project in Stoke-on-Trent. Since 2006 it has worked with artists and the local community with a particular focus on its location and the socio-political landscape. 

We began working with Airspace on a new visual identity in 2019, through a workshop with local residents examining the variety of ways that typefaces can tell us something about a place, a person or an organisation. 

This led to the development of a set of custom letterforms that refer to the different aspects of Airspace's activities as a gallery, studios, project space and community organistion. 

A redesigned website uses these new letterforms in random variations to suggest new connections and unexpected conclusions.

Jacqui Hallum is a painter and recipient of the John Moores Painting Prize.

The book documents the growth and change that occurs within her practice, and within the objects that emerge from her studio. The typography throughout the publication was produced using Processing to ‘grow’ combinations of organic shapes around skeleton letterforms, mirroring the visual characteristics of Hallum’s work. 

Co-published by Anomie Publishing and Kingsgate Project Space with writing by Dan Howard-Birt, Hettie Judah and Andrew Hunt.

Hypersurface was a group exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum London. The featured artists were invited to consider technology as a way to perceive new realities through surfaces and materials. 

With alternate pages printed either metallic silver or green-screen green, our design for the exhibition catalogue intersperses essays and shorter texts with interventions and proposals from Barbara Kapusta, Simon Mathers, Florian Mayr, Hannah Neckel and Stefan Reiterer.

Building on a series of talks held between 2014–2017 in the Sculpture department of the Royal College of Art, Everything is Sculpture: Immaterial Constructions / Material Realities is a publication series that brings together a range of practitioners to explore new contexts and issues that concern the production and reception of sculpture today.

The range of subjects explored by each contributor, and the diversity of their approach is highlighted by contrasting type styles and sizes. The whole book is printed in a combination of metallic gold and black ink.

Noit–4: Reflections is dedicated to writing by Noa Latham about his father’s art and ideas. A mixture of memoir, interpretation and critical analysis, the publication is illustrated throughout by personal photographs and exhibition images of John Latham’s work, as well as printed ephemera found in the Flat Time House archive.

A variety of typographic treatments throughout the publication support the content as it changes in tone from personal reflection to interview. The larger format for this special edition of NOIT Journal allowed for a more generous range of image sizes as the photographs shift from close details to wide angle installation views.

Noit–4: Journal of John Latham's Art & Ideas

Richard Slee is a British Contemporary Ceramic Artist who has been producing work since the 1970s that challenges conventional ideas of Ceramic Art with humour and irony.

For his exhibition Work and Play at Tullie House Museum and Gallery, Carlisle, we designed a monograph of Slee’s work produced over the previous decade. Contrasting yet traditional typefaces throughout the large-format book helped to emphasise the playful use of colour and personality in many of the pieces featured inside.
