We decided to create a fun vibrant identity that reflected the atmosphere of the night. Inspired by the lo-fi marketing previously used to promote the event, we decided to use coloured stickers to represent the diversity of the night, positioning them in such away that they sit playfully on the page.

Images B – L 86 page 5 colour catalogue with and for Hort titled 'After School Club'. In June 2007 we held a two day workshop at Hatch Ride Primary School, asking children to re-draw the studio's back catalogue of record sleeves. Designed as an exercise book, which was communicated through format, materials (3 papers) and processes (blind debossing), it documented the workshop in 2 parts (Part A & B) and contained the original references (printed on a lightweight glossy paper). As well as final photographic documentation. Offset printed with soya based inks by Aldgate Press, London in an edition of 500 copies, with 3 coloured covers. You can buy a copy for yourself here.

Three narratives that represent evil taking control through ceremony. With James Musgrave as Setup. For Grafik by Angharad Lewis (March '05) Anthony Sheret ought to be in school. Actually, he’s not skiving, he’s been given permission to have the off day off to pay Grafik a visit. It's not often our interviewees need a letter from their Mum to get them here but Sheret is definitely an unusual case. Although he’s yet to sit his ‘A’ levels his graphic design has found many admirers, including some high profile ones. In January Michael C Place of Build fame (and one of Sheret’s heroes) posted a link to his website on bustling design forum Newstoday. As a result Sheret had so many hits that his service provider threatened to close him down. Fortunately the online portfolio is still going strong. It’s a showcase for that work that he largely does off his own bat. The nearest he’s come to any formal design training is his school art lesson but he prefers to work at home, knuckling down to a bit of typeface design and book-making in his own time. Like all graphic designers, Sheret has a few obsessions. One of them is Letraset rub-down lettering. He always carries a few sheets around with him and uses them creatively, coming up with new letterforms and compositions, made by transferring the letters to paper in a random way. This is typical Sheret – he loves taking the materials and paraphernalia of graphic design and subverting them, one of his projects is a series of Unpredictable Books, which are made from found typography printed onto salvaged paper. As well as this slightly seditious streak, in true autodidact style Sheret does his learning in a very hands-on way. He has a healthy respect for the formal aspects of design but his education in typography has come meticulously working on his own faces, and deconstructing existing faces to explore their properties, something he’s done with Helvetica by pairing the letters down to the point when they hover on the border of legibility. The nearest Sheret has come to a commercial project date (March '05) is the invitations he designed for his art class’s GCSE show. But with an application to LCC pending (just the ‘A’ levels to get through first) he looks set on a very promising path. Watch this space.
