Habitat, 2002
The objective of Habitat’s re-branding was to introduce a unique and therefore defensible element to the graphic identity while still retaining the familiar word mark. The ‘Love your home’ logo refers to graphics used by the store in the 1970s.

Editorial design on Behance


Like most graphic design, newspaper and magazine design is an exercise in combining technical detail with artistic flair. The core components of editorial design are text and pictures, so a keen understanding of typography, layouts, grids and composition is essential. In fact, magazines perhaps more than any other format show how the many elements of graphic design can come together in one place: images, illustration, photography, logos and mastheads, information design, paper stock and so on.

Retail and Promotion
