Exploring this phenomena in both design and systematic methodology, creating our own system of dispersion based on the formulaic pattern of planting seen in the new hanging gardens at RCA Battersea and the colours of the Gem also known as diasporite, empholite, kayserite, or tanatarite to create a completely organic, adapting brand.
Branding as visual metaphor of natural dispersion.

To create the identity we incorporated algorithmic chance operations, attempting to create alongside the machine. Displaying the main topics and questions behind the event as a way of giving the audience snippets of its discourse, allowing the posters to act as promotional materials and provocations, both in and beyond the event.

Event conceived and convened by Dr. Sheena Calvert.
On the Go was an exhibition at the 2016 London Design Festival, exploring whether design can intervene to take the social stigma away from our most primordial bodily activity and whether on-the-go toileting is a utopian or dystopian prospect.
Taking inspiration from factory interiors and how they might appear in the future, the identity and design give a speculative twist to the exhibition as an ode to the works exhibited. In fitting with this concept, objects within the exhibition were displayed as factory prototypes and archival materials. The signage, tables and hangings took on an elaborate utilitarian aesthetic through the use of modular fittings and automated type design.
Exhibition Design as speculative future.

In collaboration with Maggie Jennings and Christina Niederberger, Studio Sink Poetry takes inspiration from the Kitchen Sink Painters of the 1950's. Whimsically spinning poems about studio occurrences, which are in turn explored through the written word, design practice and the act of printing, creating an almost spontaneous example of visual poetry.
Written word as design, Design as written word.

With mental illness often being in the background of everyday life, the visual identity was influenced by the seemingly invisible nature of white noise. We used transparency layers as a way of visually emphasising this idea of fading in and out of visibility. Utilising the semicolon as a symbol of continuance and not giving up as an ode to mental health activism.
We also created a petition for the exhibition, moving beyond service based design toward more active forms of agency. Allowing people to show solidarity against the current cuts to mental health in the UK by critiquing the stigmatising language used against mental illness.

The Book in the Global Village speculates the role of print in the age of the digital native.
Now that our understanding of the world is being constantly and consistently updated, the book is no longer the most accessible or fastest means of written communication. In today's age can the book now be a mobile device of unification? Tapping into the passion, humour and sensibility of an internet age? Working in tandem with the web and connecting our Global Village?
The book as hybrid between material & immaterial space-time.
Connected, separate, individual, whole.

India is one of the largest countries in the world, and along with that comes a multitude of natural and man made sights. From each major city to every tiny rural village, the culture, the sights remain unique creating an unique experience.
We worked with Ravishing India Holidays and Incredible India Tourism to film and produce a short film to promote the sights of Ladakh, India and applied a cinematic feel to encourage people to get out and step into the beautiful unknown.
