Six projects. Everything we have made that we would make again.

That is all of it.

Six projects is not a shortfall. It is what two people can do properly in three years.

Read the write-ups

Three things, done properly

Identity

A wordmark, a type system, a colour system and the rules that hold them together. Delivered as artwork you own outright.

Print

Books, catalogues, packaging and the specification the printer needs. We check the proofs on press.

Environment

Signage and wayfinding, cut and fixed. We survey the building before we draw anything.

What it costs, and what you get

Every plate on this site is printed at one grade

Photographic paper is sold in numbered contrast grades, and a grade is not a look — it is a fixed slope on the paper's characteristic curve. Every photograph here is printed at grade 1.85 about the same mid-grey, and the slope is baked into the file rather than applied in the browser. One project is not, and it is on the page rather than in a footnote: Ninebark is a colour system, so it ships ungraded beside the rest.

See the curve, and the control
