POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
In summer last year, Studio Ground Floor created the brand for @source.material.service – the new sister company of 🧚 @thedigifairy 🧚 – a global advisory network of creative thought-leaders, cultural experts and creators. 🌍 Basically, content creators as creative consultants!  Our brand concept ‘Origin Point’📍explores Source Material as a new origin point for insights and ideas. An alternative source. Drawing from, reimagining and translating real culture, straight from the source. 🔌🔎 This exploration of the oddity and acumen of new ideas is embodied in Source Material’s wordmark. Off-kilter and unexpected, it’s the antithesis to a predictable, slow agency, representing all of the good, multiplicitous perspectives that Source Material provides. ✏️ Typeset in Trattatello, the logomark reaches far back into the visual history of typography and culture, with its design directly drawing from Ludovico degli Arrighi’s lettering used in ‘La Operina’ (1522). Its trailing tail evokes the non-linear journey of brands and creators from the origin point to new worlds and new ideas. An irreverent signature for a new proposition. 👶🚨🌚 🌞🕶️🌻The brand evolves with digital culture, with seasonal colours and a graphic flexibility to adapt to new imagery and applications. The monogram (a Roman numeral for ‘ten thousand’, reinforcing the idea of one starting point with many avenues, the start of 10,000 journeys you could go on) creates a sense of interconnected forms clustering around a central origin point. The image treatment of cut outs, scraps and collections allows and encourages the messy and eclectic, the ways of getting new ideas in a non-traditional path 🐛 As well as brand guidelines and motion behaviours, we designed and developed the website, created social and deck templates, as well as a launch video (more on that soon)! Thank you to @eveblee for bringing us in to work on such an exciting project 💕 Team: Creative Direction and Design: Studio Ground Floor (@alicesherwin_ and @harold__bennett ) Motion design: @george.creese Design support: @jennifer.whitworth Web Development: @marcoland2

🟢 @studiogroundfloor worked with 🌈 @abcdinamo 🌈 to create a bespoke typeface, Hackney Daily, used in their designs for the new green heritage plaques for London’s borough of Hackney 🟢 📚 Having dived into the borough’s archives, making sure the plaque’s design drew directly from the area itself, Studio Ground Floor was taken by Hackney People’s Press’ community information board. This particular image is an example of its postings from between 1973 and 1985. As a result, Hackney Daily – and the plaques – mirror the borough, carry its rich visual history, and embrace its character and warmth, instead of drawing from a place of pomp or ceremony 📚 ✏️ @fabianharb and @mikenigra from Dinamo ✏️ saw the similarities between the original type and ABC Daily – a typeface that was in beta at the time – and kindly volunteered their time to create a bespoke cut that referenced the form and weight of the noticeboard.  🏺 Then, when it came to translating the type to clay, further optical adjustments were required, opening out space between slabs so that the glaze didn’t bleed and make letters join together 🔠 It turned out well for everyone, and even led to the creation of heavier weights in the ABC Daily family!  🟢 Thank you again to Ned Heywood and Julia Land (the master ceramicist behind the plaque), @fabianharb @mikenigra @abcdinamo @hackney_society @gordonshrigley and @jachapman8226 🟢 ❣️ If you’re in Hackney, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for more plaques popping up❣️ ⚠️ Designed by @alicesherwin_ and @harold__bennett of @studiogroundfloor ⚠️

🟢 @studiogroundfloor have designed Hackney’s new heritage plaques 🟢 We’re super-duper excited to share what we’ve been working on for the past year or so. Working with @hackney_society, Studio Ground Floor have designed the new green heritage plaques popping up around Hackney 📍 to celebrate the influential, until-now-unsung heroes that so greatly influenced the borough, the city of London and Britain as a whole 🤝 The ceramic plaques are handmade by 👐 Ned Heywood and Julia Land 👐 (pictured on installation day) who also make the blue plaques for English Heritage. Working with the two, we found a remarkable green glaze that uniquely patinas plaque-to-plaque, whilst feeling like an unmistakably ‘Hackney’ green 🟢 The first plaque was erected in honour of Edith Watson. Edith was the first female police officer and a suffragette, born to a single mother at the former Hackney Workhouse site on Homerton High Street, where we have installed her plaque. As part of @riocinema ’s 🎬 Rio Forever 🎬 programme, Hackney Society’s second plaque was unveiled to celebrate Clara Ludski, the pioneering woman behind the renowned, Grade II listed, Art Deco cinema in Dalston 🎥 There is plenty more to share about Hackney’s new green plaques – including an incredible bespoke typeface kindly designed and donated by @abcdinamo that we commissioned based on the borough’s old community notice boards – which we’ll post about soon 🟢 In the meantime, thank you to everyone involved: @hackney_society @gordonshrigley @jachapman8226 @abcdinamo @riocinema Keep your eyes peeled as more plaques pop up around Hackney ❣️ Designed by @alicesherwin_ and @harold__bennett of Studio Ground Floor.

‘Adagio’ is the title of photographer @lauraghez new book and their respective body of work. In its simplest terms, it means to go slow, with no rush 🌱 Working with Laura, we mirrored this feeling through the editorial design, with interstitial statements setting the pace of the book, and in the materiality of the cover, with its subtle twinkling serene sheen ✨ Thank you @lauraghez for the brilliant, fun and thoughtful conversations along the way 🌻  Cover printed on Gmund Action Alpine Sparkling Water. Masterfully printed by @pressisionltd 🖨️ Typeset in ⚠️ ABC Different Times ⚠️ by @abcdinamo 🦆 Riso insert printed by the ever-wonderful @ceciliepress 🎨 Design by @alicesherwin_ and @harold__bennett of @studiogroundfloor 🍏
