About me

Our team of designers specialise in producing innovative books, corporate identities, CD covers, custom fonts, websites and magazines. Our clients range from international museums to charitable organisations. We have worked and won many awards in the area of motion graphics working for clients such as the BBC and Grey Advertising alongside producing self-initiated projects. Barnbrook also releases original fonts through VirusFonts that are used extensively worldwide. Our contribution to graphic design was recognised by a major exhibition at the Design Museum, London in 2007.
Projects
  • David Bowie — Is
    David Bowie — IsCatalogue design to accompany a major exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, David Bowie Is — the first international retrospective of the extraordinary career of David Bowie. This is the first book to be granted access to Bowie's personal archive of performance costume, instruments, set designs, photographs, original design artwork and handwritten lyrics.
  • British Heart Foundation
    British Heart FoundationDirector: Barnbrook Agency: Grey Animation: Andrew Bayliss/Glassworks The British Heart Foundation wanted to differentiate itself from the NHS by appearing more human than medical. The spot features a virtual heart simulator, a 3-D animated heart that was developed over many years as a teaching aid for surgeons. The campaign proved very successful resulting in the charity receiving over 5 times the normal amount of calls. The typefaces use in the advert are from VirusFonts with some additional custom lettering drawn by the studio. The campaign was also extended to online media.
