Spring and Summer 2010 Course Leaflet
For the first piece of work we produced for the studio, we wanted to immediately place Spike Print in the wide world of art. We used a line spoken by Jeff Koons on the front, and moved all the essential information about the studio into a central focal point, helped by the unusual format and folding of the leaflet. The linocutters on the back were inspired by a series of photos Walker Evans took of common tools for Fortune Magazine. The leaflet was then printed in two spot colours, a small nod to printmaking.

Impact 6 Print Conference Delegate Pack
Impact is an international print conference in its tenth year. We were asked by the University of the West of England (where Impact originated and returns to this anniversary year) to produce the 150 page delegate pack to include schedules, paper abstracts, panel overviews, maps and further information.
We also designed and screenprinted the front cover which is a play (straight steal) on Robert Rauschenberg’s Automobile Tire Print, fitting for a print conference but doubly so because of Impact’s 10th year ‘homecoming.’

Rebecca Telford website
Rebecca Telford’s screenprints have always been a joy to us, so we were chuffed when Rebecca asked us to put a website together for her. Simplicity was the name of the game, as her fantastic work needs little ornamentation.

Clarity BioSolutions Identity
Clarity BioSolutions asked us to develop their identity in addition to designing and launching their website. We felt Avenir would do the job typographically: clean, clear and bold. In initial discussions a drop of water was mentioned; we refined the idea and hey presto!
