Nick Bell Design Information

Graphic Designers for 3D environments. We are visual communicators designing for three dimensional interactive environments. Most of the time, we work with architects, curators and museum directors. Together, we try to make museums absorbing and inspirational places to be. Some of the time, we work with heads of marketing and communications. With them, we help hone the voice that best captures their organisation’s relationship with people. Occasionally, working with publishers, editors and writers, we make books, catalogues and magazines objects of beauty and substance. All of the time, we use design so that organisations can engage better and influence more than they did before. Our aim is always to make it easier and more appealing for people to strengthen the connections they have with an organisation (usually museums, visitor attractions and sometimes private companies). We do this by developing ways of communicating that spark interest, encourage participation and provoke action. We then embody the specific nature of this engagement through a distinctive graphic personality: a brand identity played out through exhibition design, wayfinding, editorial design (both printed and online) and marketing. Our award-winning approach is curatorial: design utilised to exercise meaning from effects as opposed to effects for their own sake.
