our approach

Design for the real world

What kind of designers are we? Sensitive, creative, expert, attentive and absolutely professional, say clients.

When you work with Calverts, you're not buying a Calverts house style. You're tapping into a flexible resource of experience, creativity and project management know how which will deliver your visuals, campaigns, publications, websites and marketing collateral on time, on budget and on brand.

Designing for the real world means developing solutions that are not just beautiful and engaging, but also mindful of resources and people. We work with our clients to deliver printed and electronic communications that are financially and environmentaly sustainable. To us, this means no wasted words, no wasted materials and no wasted effort; or, as someone once said, designing on the principle that 'less is more'.

Little Press

Take some cast metal type, add parts of a radio cassette player, a wooden block, some assorted rods, a little copper, and a large helping of creative nous to get this fantastic little letterpress machine. Click here to see a short video on the project or here for more detail.

People in Mind

People in MInd

Late last year we worked with oral historian Ruth Meyerowitz on a project marking 25 years of Mind in Bexley.
Ruth talked to people who were part of the Mind community and their stories were as much about personal journeys as they were about the organisation.

In November 2011, Ruth's work and that of her Daniel were exhibited at the National Trust’s Hall Place.

Entitled People in Mind, it attracted almost 150 visitors in two weeks. Extracts from the life story interviews were grouped around the themes that had emerged during the project and these were exhibited with the photographs taken at the workshops.

Calverts worked on layout, production and display of the portraits.

The full story can be read on Mind's website.
