• New Book: Fashion Central Saint Martins by Praline

  BP&O · Oct 3, 2019

  BP&O reviews Praline’s design for the book *Fashion Central Saint Martins*, published by Thames & Hudson in collaboration with Central Saint Martins. The book celebrates the legacy of the fashion course through archival imagery, essays, and interviews, while Praline’s design channels the rebellious and candid spirit of the institution through bold red accents, handwritten gestures, and raw material choices. The review praises the book’s layered, tactile approach and its balance between mythologising and authenticity.

• Branding for Heritage: A User's Manual by Bond

  BP&O · Jan 25, 2017

  BP&O’s Richard Baird reviews Bond’s visual identity for the exhibition 'Heritage: A User’s Manual' at London’s Southbank Centre. The design uses MuirMcNeil’s Cut typeface, a restrained palette of greys and red, and material touches like dyed papers and block foil to balance architectural structure with community accessibility. The result is a clear, inclusive identity that connects archival themes with modern typographic expression.
