Flow – Martial Arts Festival

As ever, we are constantly reviewing the archives and adding projects.

Matt Kovacs produced the following brand for his Honours project. The brief he set himself was to create a brand for a martial arts festival, and change the public’s perception of what the martial arts really are. Society has a negative opinion of martial arts, believing it is a purely physical pursuit, whereas the mind plays a much bigger role than expected.

'Break a Leg'

Here we feature James Clarke’s final year self initiated project from 2018.

Heather’s display face design was drawn from observed shapes taken from in and around Morecambe’s sea front environment. The resulting designs, combined with a beautifully considered colour palette, make for an elegant bespoke type face.
