From the Archive: Dovecot Posters, 2015-2018

Here is a selection of posters that I designed for Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh from 2015 to 2018. Working closely with Lizzie Cowan, the marketing and communications manager at Dovecot, the posters were part of a wider project to establish a distinct identity for Dovecot that included private view invitations, exhibition graphics, exhibition guides, marketing leaflets, and the quarterly Dovecot What’s On guide. Prioritising imagery, the posters used pared back typography, initially using Callibri but eventually switching to Dovecot's ‘official’ typeface, Whitney. Although the basic layout remained consistent on each poster, the type treatment of the title of each exhibition was different, creating a self-contained identity for each exhibition whilst establishing a strong and recognisable brand for Dovecot.
