Publication Series
COMPLEX TEXT

This project addresses navigation in the layout of continuous text. Both typographic techniques and ink tones are used to guide the reader.

Tinted pages are used to distinguish the narrative from the end sections. Tints of black ink give a deadened appearance, so a dark pantone ink was chosen. This keeps costs down while allowing for a warmth in both text and background tint printing.

Old School House
INTERIOR DESIGN & SOCIAL MEDIA

A beautifully restored house in the Lake District needed a new concept for the interiors. The client explained: "Originally built in 1722, we fell in love with the house’s symmetry, stonework and situation, and restored it to retain its character and reflect the land it was built on."
Each window has a view over the hills and dales above Ullswater. 'Bringing the outside in' inspired the approach to colours, textures and is reflected in the collection of local pottery on display. Old School House Guests' download.
