Description

Type Tuesday: Cover to cover

St Bride Foundation, Tuesday 6 June 2023 in the Bridewell Hall 7-9.30pm

Eye magazine hosts its popular Type Tuesday, which on this occasion is all about books. The event features Nico Taylor and Jack Smyth – who will be presenting their ‘Cover Design Wheel of Fortune’ – plus award-winning book cover designer Anna Morrison and a short panel discussion. There will be a bar and a stall at which you can buy bargain back issues of Eye and the latest editionEye 104.

NICO TAYLOR AND JACK SMYTH’S COVER DESIGN WHEEL OF FORTUNE: Using real-life case studies across a variety of publishers, designers Nico and Jack will look at various aspects of the book cover design process: from briefing forms to the cover meeting; from the pressures of designing a bestseller to what makes something ‘good’ … and much more.

ANNA MORRISON is an award-winning freelance book cover designer. Her work has been featured in The Guardian, Creative Review, Print, Lit Hub and The Type Directors Club. Before going freelance in 2019, she worked as an in-house designer at Random House and 4th Estate and was formerly the Art Director for Pushkin Press. Anna now works with large and independent publishers both in the UK and internationally. The majority of her design work is for adult trade fiction and non-fiction books.

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.
