Glen Robinson
Marianne Waller
Rick Banks
Rowan Collins & Olivia Bush
Design Educator Glen Robinson has been connecting generations of graphic design students and graduates with one another for over a decade. Collectively and individually they have made an indelible mark on his life. Together with past students Rick Banks (Face37), Marianne Waller (CNN Digital) and current students Rowan Collins and Olivia Bush (studying Design for Publishing) they will share some personal insights from their creative lives and loves.
You will find out . . .
Why Glen thinks graphic design and drawing can ameliorate the chaotic world we live in, and some observations of why the relationships between students, industry and tutors is a vital part of design education.
How Rowan and Olivia – best friends with a love for porridge, slow living and seasonal eating – started their side hustle: Norridge.
How a cup of tea can change your life . . . Marianne will reflect on the most influential cups of tea throughout her career, and how communication, curiosity and vulnerability should be embraced within design.
How Rick’s passion for typefaces has lead to the books he has published, and the role that design can play in bettering the world around us, having donated both his time and publishing proceeds towards worthwhile causes.
Glen Robinson is a graphic designer, artist and subject leader of Design for Publishing at Norwich University of the Arts. He is the co-founder of GRRR – a mischievously led studio partnership with Rebecca Robinson; together they make vivid art and design that stumbles through a psychotropic landscape, littered references to comedy and death. Part of an ongoing investigation of layered narratives found in terrestrial encounters with the physical world and metaphysical ideas found in our imagination.
Rick Banks is a graphic designer, typographer, publisher and proud northerner. Working under the moniker of Face37 he has helped create some of the world’s most loved brands, including EE, Triumph Motorcycles, AXA, British Heart Foundation and adidas. Specialising in brand, book and type design, his work has won numerous awards, including a yellow pencil from D&AD and a TDC from the Type Directors Club in Tokyo. He has been featured in the Creative Review Annual, as well as receiving recognition from the respected Creative Circle, Communication Arts, TDC (NY) and ISTD.
Marianne Waller is a design lead at CNN London where she is responsible for the global design system and the London bureau premium businesses, CNN Travel and CNN Style. She has previously worked with Simon Esterson to redesign The Sunday Times Magazine, alongside Mark Porter on Portuguese newspaper Publico and with Declan Fahy redesigned Men’s Health magazine. Her work spans across some of the UK’s best-known magazines including Esquire, LOVE, Eye Magazine, Living Etc, FHM, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, Museums Journal, Therapy Today and Christies.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to the St Bride Library.
Supported by Norwich University of the Arts.
Organiser
Established in 1891 with a clear social and cultural purpose, St Bride Foundation is one of London’s hidden gems.
Housed in a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building, St Bride Foundation was originally set up to serve the burgeoning print and publishing trade of nearby Fleet Street, and is now finding a new contemporary audience of designers, printmakers and typographers who come to enjoy a regular programme of design events and workshops.
Many thousands of books, printing-related periodicals and physical objects are at the heart of St Bride Library. Volumes on the history of printing, typography, newspaper design and paper-making jostle for space alongside one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of type specimens. The printed, written, carved and cast word may be found at St Bride in its myriad forms. Architectural lettering and examples of applied typography in many media, together with substantial collections of steel punches and casting matrices for metal types are also held in this eclectic collection. The Reading Room is open to visitors twice a month and on other days by appointment. Although we operate on a cost-neutral basis, it is necessary to charge for some of our services. Details are available by emailing the library team at library@sbf.org.uk.
St Bride retains many of its original features, including the baths, laundry, printing rooms and library. As part of the Foundation’s original mission to provide for the community, many of the building’s unique and characterful spaces are available to hire whether for meetings, weddings or classes.
St Bride also houses the popular Bridewell Theatre, and Bridewell Bar (once the laundry), and hosts a year-round programme of plays, comedy, music and exhibitions.
With some 65,000 visitors a year St Bride Foundation is a major London hub for the creative arts in London. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
