Magpie studio are a London based design studio that focus specifically with illustration. All their work communicates solely through colour, line, shape, pattern, form and space and style. They believe that design is more than just a job, its a responsibility. Magpie have been around for 2 years, with a few members originally from the studio 'Hatrick'.
When we arrived at the studio we were greeted with a warm welcome and cups of tea!
Ben began by showing us Magpies work.
From what I could see from their work, they used Art and Design to represent people, symbols, colour and photography. I especially liked the Creative Magazine where the the sun was cut off to create the 'C' and the book for London's Local Printers where they used Cockney Slang. I like to really work at a project to get the right solution and idea so it was enjoyable to see the many great ideas they had come up with for each project.
I think one thing I came away from the studio was knowing that its important to leave something behind next time. So in the coming months I plan on creating a name card or a miniature book so the designers can get back in contact easily if they like my work. Magpies own business cards were designed as a small briefcase and it opened up to reveal all the information. There was even little detail for the ring binders.
