MillsPower Architecture

I have just updated the website MillsPower Architecture. Formerly known as Mark Power Architects – Phyllida Mills and Mark Power have joined forces. They are award wining architects of public and domestic projects including the very beautiful 'Jubiloos' on London's Southbank. The update also includes new stationery with super heavyweight oversized business cards featuring recent projects.

O Shipka! is a small online Bulgarian bookshop selling hard to find books for Bulgarians in the UK and around the world. I have designed a logo for them  – mostly for use online. The design is which looks a bit like an open book is based on traditional Bulgarian decorative fabric patterns.

Illustrations for Psychologies Magazine

I have been doing an illustration a month since March for Philippa Perry's casebook column in Psychologies magazine.

Newsletter for Hussein Chalayan's Sunday Sermon on 'Fitting In' organised by The School of Life. The shapes are based on clothing patterns and shapes from his collection – and it's printed in really, really bright neon orange and turquoise. 

The Handmade Alliance Identity

The Handmade Alliance is a social enterprise that trains prisoners to produce high quality hand-finished products for British designers. It also gives training and employment to ex-offenders help to improve their re-integration successfully into society. I have been working with them to create a new identity that will be applied to swing tags, woven labels and publicity. The new logo is a monogram of links made of the abstracted letters H and A.

Black Maria at King's Cross

Publicity and invite for Black Maria – an installation by Richard Wentworth and the Swiss architects Gruppe. The eclectic typography echoes the collaboration between Richard and Gruppe. The invite is printed on Chromolux using black and metallic silver ink.

House of Fairy Tales at Sutton House

I have been working with the House of Fairy Tales and The National Trust on a logo for their latest project at Sutton House a beautiful National Trust propery in Hackney, London. The Breaker's Yard is a permanent magical child-centered garden created by award wining designer Dan Lobb. The logo features 'The Grange', a really fun a stately home caravan by also by Dan.

Signs at Conway Hall

More recently installed signage at Conway Hall. The signage includes directional signs throughout the building and updating hand-painted boards on the exterior with new text. The aim of the signage was to provide new helpful signs but in a way that integrated with the look and feel of this very special building.

There is a nice mention by John Bird in The Big Issue 19/12/12 about Conway Hall 'as the scene or some of the most important human rights events of the last 60 years'. You can see their varied programme of events at conwayhall.org.uk.
