Graphic Design London - Day 6


HELLO Govna! Coming to you live from London. Today we had an exciting adventure, but first, let us show exhibit A. An early morning, other known as 8:30am breakfast with our fellow students looking chipper as ever. 




FAR OUT MAN! Not in this case, did you know, “Way out” is the language used on the signage on most exit signs in London? You do now!





A quick snapshot of a well designed logo before entering Bibliothequé. It shows off a more elegant view of a pizzeria not commonly seen in the US. 



Our first stop was to the design studio known as Bibliothequé. He gave us an interesting perspective on what it means to develop and maintain a personal relationship with his clients, and developing a brand based on research related to the brand. 




Our next stop of the day was to MagCulture. MagCulture has a magnificent collection of magazines on various topics. Each magazine has a display of beautiful layouts that any designer can get excited about. 






A short walk down the block brings us to Present & Correct. A designers paradise. This is a quaint little shop a few blocks away with design supplies. Pencils, pens, paper, graph paper, planners, clips, scissors, binder clips galore. Definitely seems to be the shop Chris St. Cyr would enjoy!


Munch, munch, munch! We stopped at Pret a Manger for a late lunch. Esther ordered a macchiato and was sadly disappointed with a baby espresso... deep sigh



Later we took a magical trip to see platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross Station and stocked up on Harry Potter merch. 





Lastly, we went to Mullen Lowe Profero, an advertisement agency located on City Road in London. Profero works with large companies such as Google, Harley Davidson, and Wagamama. They’re work is sleek and modern, mainly focusing on web and digital design and advertisement. 





Dinner anyone? After a long day we stopped at M&S grocery store for lasagna, salad,  and pasta. We noticed in the store "mashed potatoes" is referred to as "potato mash"... interesting. 




Thanks for reading!
