c/o @guardian this morning… a piece by Stephanie Hare @hare_brain – researcher and broadcaster focused on technology, politics and history. Design / ethics / AI / cross-disciplinary working, it’s all there. Worth a read.
Pleased to reference GraphicDesign& Health last week – giving historic context to the communication of messages about vaccination. Thanks for the invitation @UdKBerlin @TORCHOxford @UniofOxford.

Asking some tricky questions...

Super clever logo for the feminist publisher The Women’s Press where GD& co-founder @lrplus_ worked not long after graduating. This is an early version of the iron logo and is by the brilliant Donna Muir.

GD& co-founder discussing exhibition projects including @ExploreWellcome Can Graphic Design Save Your Life? and @DesignMuseum Hope to Nope.
Just live! At the end of last year I was interviewed by Luce Hutton and Joel Lang, students @LeedsArtsUni investigating what it’s like to work in exhibition design. See me on a HUGE imaginary screen answering their questions!

GraphicDesign& Typography from GD& co-founder @lrplus_
Some WIP for the @lrplus_Typographic Norms 2 project. We’re lucky in having a copy of TN, but it’s fragile. This is therefore an invaluable easy-to-use reference for us showing images and the flatplan of the original.

GraphicDesign& UK
Design magazine 11/64. Its theme Scottish design. Its cover by #anthonyfroshaug. Robin Kinross has commented AF’s 'logarithmic graph on which the map is plotted plays a nice subverting joke on Britain' – this resonates since leaving the EU. Sad face.

Great examples of... GraphicDesign& Transport.
This time last year that we were commissioned by @cooperhewitt to be part of the design team for a show about graphic designer E McKnight Kauffer. This fantastic book designed by @l_hitchcock is out now. Exhibition due later in 2021!

It was all about communication...
We designed The Other Side for @gdand_. It’s about Brexit and reads Remain one way and Leave the other. A tough but important read. Available here:
