About me

Modern Activity is a graphic design studio based in London, run by Matthew Appleton (MA RCA). We believe in a hands-on, flexible approach to design, maintaining a print workshop as part of our practice. In collaboration with our clients and project partners, we aim to craft imaginative, high quality communications for print and screen that respond to content and circumstance rather than prevailing fashions. Past and current clients include White Cube, Demos, Contemporary Art Society, Artangel, SPACE, Paul Smith, Ikon, BBC and Rizzoli.
