After the success of Issue #01, here is the second edition of Left Cultures, a project/publication collating personal stories and bespoke illustrations, initiated by Phil Wrigglesworth and Colum Leith.
Left Cultures
Left Cultures is an indipendent editorial project self-initiated by a collective under the supervision of illustrator and UWE lecturer Phil Wrigglesworth. Left Cultures is a collection of “leftists” personal accounts, bespokenly illustrated by professional artists. The radical, yet friendly, vibe of the magazine is a warm struggle to communicate in a contemporary way the look and feel of an indie fanzine from the past.
Niall McLaughlin Architects
With the aim to reflect the architecture studio’s identity, for the new Niall McLaughlin Architects’ website we designed a complete and yet easy to navigate experience. The cleanliness in shapes and compositions is a consequence of the collective effort towards functionality. The website presents itself with a rather sober look and feel and using the colour tones one can find while visiting the architects studio in Camden Town.
A Memory of Darkness
Invitation design and print for Luoise Beer’s event A Memory of Darkness at Delfina foundation during COVID lockdown. Louise Beer is an artist from New Zealand who, during her residency at Delfina Foundation x Gaia Art Foundation organised an immersive online event as part of her research on light pollution and our disappearing access to natural darkness.
The Elusive Modernist
Publication design for a prominent research written by researcher Hamed Khosravi on Gabriel Guevrekian, an elusive figure of the 1930s modernist movement. This large size publication has the precious feel and the presence of a collection item, displaying both archival material and a narrtive. We worked in close collaboration with the author of the book, to make sure that the layout and typographic choices all aim to reflects the multi-faceted identity of this architect, whole lived, worked (and was influenced) in Switzerland, France, Austria, the Netherlands and the United States.
Evelyn Wharf Cycles
Brand design for an independent second-hand bike shop in South East London. The logo, the typographic choice, the shapes and colours reflect the industrial nature of the area and the shipping containers where the workshop is located. If you are in London and need a good quality bespoke second-hand bike, visit David in Deptford!

Politics of Food
A 240 pages book published by Sternberg press containing a selection academic essays and art projects, exploring food and its socio-political impact and meanings. For the design of this book, the challange was to define a hybrid visual identity, as a meeting point between the spheres of radical thinking, art and the classic cookbook.
