About me.
ISTD 2008. Here I am — I'm Roger McGough.
Comic modern varieties [have] more relation to pairs of spectacles than to lettering — as though the designer had said:
A pair of spectacles is rather like a g: I shall make a g rather like a pair of spectacles.
Eric Gill.
An essay on typography.
In 2008 I received a commendation (their highest award) from the International Society of Typographic Designers at their annual student awards.
The brief, Once I lived in capitals, called for a celebration of Roger McGough's life and work.
I created the identity, programme, souvenir poster, ticket and opera glasses for an imaginary gala performance of his poetry by previous collaborators of his, all pretending to be him.
The programme sleeve and poster were letterpressed.
