Lemon Drizzle

Lemon Drizzle

A logo and leaflet design for Heaton Moor's most charming tea-shop. 1930s art deco style used as inspiration. /enlarge

Grand Guignol Sketch

Grand Guignol Sketch

We like to start a new design with a pencil sketch; sometimes more expressive than a computer visual. This one was for Grand Guignol, a purposely gory and shocking style of theatre. Finished design can be found further down the page. /enlarge

The Marriage

The Marriage

Our design for Gogol's comedy uses a collage technique we started for Molière's The Miser (at the bottom of the page). /enlarge

Jack And The Beanstalk

Jack And The Beanstalk

Illustration for the Belgrade's family panto. A pencil sketch is done to establish the design and plan the characters, then the whole thing is painted in photoshop. /enlarge

Exchange Education Sofas

Exchange Education Sofas

A development on a long running visual gag where things turn up in places you wouldn't expect them to. It started with a zebra in a phonebox and here we have a series booklet covers. /enlarge

Girls Like That

Girls Like That

Show design for Evan Placey's play about the part technology plays in bullying. This is the image's first outing in the season brochure we do for the Theatre Royal Plymouth. /enlarge

Brilliant Adventures

Brilliant Adventures

Show poster for the Bruntwood Playwriting Competition winner. Distressed to look like a pulp sci-fi book jacket from the 1950s and based on a photo by Joel Fildes. /enlarge

Repclif Chemicals

Repclif Chemicals

A rare non-theatre project was to design a set of packaging labels for cleaning products. The first orders are coming in already, so look out for them in a supermarket near you. /enlarge

Truth About Youth

Truth About Youth

Poster identity for the Co-Op's Truth About Youth project and Royal Exchange Theatre. We believe that the Co-Op went on to use this design on their print at other venues - the cheek! /enlarge

Early Years Postcards

Early Years Postcards

A set of four postcards for the very young. These have proved very popular and the Royal Exchange have had to re-print several times! /enlarge

Making An Exhibition Of Ourselves

Making An Exhibition Of Ourselves

A report for the Royal Exchange Theatre's Education Dept. The design was based on a scrapbook to reflect the contributions from all the schools, communities, young people, early years groups and adults that took part. /enlarge

Grand Guignol

Grand Guignol

We're very proud of this design for the Drum Theatre, which needed to be gruesome without upsetting people. It was even used as a backdrop behind Kirsty Wark on Newsnight Review. /enlarge

The Gruffalo Live On Stage

The Gruffalo Live On Stage

We can't take the credit for Axel Scheffler's brilliant illustration, but we've been designing all the touring show print for KW&NB since 2009! /enlarge

The Devil Is An Ass

The Devil Is An Ass

A modern take on the vices available to us now... much the same as they were when Ben Jonson wrote this in 1616. /enlarge

A Thousand Slimy Things

A Thousand Slimy Things

We worked closely with Lewis Gibson and Tangere Arts to produce this illustration, basing the characters on the actors who would be in the show and even including an allegorical albatross. /enlarge
