I have been respon­si­ble for the Bris­tol Folk House (BFH) design require­ments for over 10 years. The BFH are an Adult Edu­ca­tion Cen­tre in the heart of Bris­tol com­mit­ted to encour­ag­ing a com­mu­nal spir­it of equal oppor­tu­ni­ty. Not only offer­ing cours­es and work­shops, the café and gar­den pro­vide a peace­ful retreat from the busy city streets. 

Their print­ed termly pro­gramme of cours­es and work­shops con­tains a great deal of essen­tial infor­ma­tion that needs to be pre­sent­ed in a coher­ent and easy to nav­i­gate lay­out. I enjoy cre­at­ing the typo­graph­ic hier­ar­chy of styles that you need for a infor­ma­tive yet aes­thet­ic page. In con­trast, the cov­er has always been the cre­ative plat­form to enhance the BFH’s unique inclu­sive per­son­al­i­ty that main­ly draws on their 100 year his­to­ry. Col­lage was often used in the ear­li­er days to cre­ate metaphor­i­cal themes that rein­force the BFH com­mit­ment to learn­ing for pleasure.
