Rococo Chocolates &Roald DahlPackaging design

The founder of Rococo Chocolates, Chantal Coady, set up the company in 1983. It has a quirky, eccentric, 18th-century-meets-punk style, aiming to inject a sense of fun and imagination into chocolate retailing.

When Rococo started a collaboration with the Roald Dahl Literary Estate, I produced the design for “The Enormous Crocodile Egg” box wrapper. The wrapper uses a mixture of both the Rococo Chocolates and Roald Dahl styles, a Quentin Blake drawing, and handwriting by Rococo.

I have also produced the template design for a 70g bar box, based on the Matilda story, which again incorporates style elements from both companies, Blake drawings, and a Roald Dahl style guide blue ‘splodge’. Other flavours and characters are intended to follow on from this template. The box structure itself is the one used for the Rococo range of 70g flavours. Made in Great Britain

Rococo ChocolatesArtisan bars: packaging design

‘A stunning asymmetric mirrored courtyard tiled with Moroccan tiles and filled with fragrant plants’. Open Garden Squares Weekend.

The tiles in the courtyard garden behind Rococo Chocolates in Belgravia are the source for the patterns on the Rococo 70g Artisan bars. I adjusted each tile image to change the colours and contrast, then arranged them in a grid for the background design for 29 of the 30 flavours.

I designed the new style box, which now closes without gluing, but instead uses a tab and slit, which are held in place by a label with ‘Best Before’ and batch details. On the reverse, the ingredients and allergy information conform to statutory guidelines. I made the barcodes and input the nutritional data.

The 30th, only non-tile, design is Honeycomb Crunch, for which I designed a hexagonal yellow and orange pattern.

Tasting notes by founder Chantal Coady I remember stealing raspberries from my Granny’s garden on hot summer days! The berries balance the sweetness of the white chocolate, and popping candy adds a celebratory fizz.

Bike Events organises sponsored cycle rides, for regular riders or those new to cycling. The rides, some short family fun rides and others stamina-testing 100 milers, are arranged in conjunction with charities. Bike Events produces an annual brochure with details about their rides and guidance on preparation for an event.

For the last 10 years, with the Bike Events’ editors, and the charities sponsoring each particular ride, I have designed and produced the artwork for the 56-page brochure including the cover. The brochure consists of single or double ride pages with the route details, a map, and a section for the charity. I edit the images for colour, draw the maps and also check and place the dozen or so full page adverts, which arrive as pdfs.

The Narrow FootholdBook design

The author of this memoir of escape from Nazi-occupied Europe is Carina Birman, the Conseil Juridique at the Austrian Embassy in Paris between 1926 and 1938. It tells of the dangerous journey in 1940 with her friend Sophie Lippmann over the Pyrenees through Spain and Portugal, and eventually to New York.

The memoir is a testimony of escape, but also an account of the last day of the life of the philosopher and literary critic Walter Benjamin. The title comes from his The Arcades Project.

“How this work was written: rung by rung, according as chance would offer a narrow foothold, and always like someone who scales dangerous heights and never allows himself a moment to look round ...”

I designed the book pages and the cover. My cover artwork shows a montage of the Customs House in Port Bou, and the memorial to Walter Benjamin. The blue sky exit together with the stairway and the customs office act as metaphors for the perilous flight. (Published in 2006)

The Narrow Foothold

Carina Birman

The author of this memoir of escape from Nazi-occupied Europe was Carina Birman (1895-1996), the Conseil Juridique at the Austrian Embassy in Paris between 1926 and 1938. It tells of her escape with her friend Sophie Lippmann (1885-1975) over the Pyrenees through Spain and Portugal and eventually to New York. Having secured a number of Mexican visas for refugee intellectuals in order to attend an arts festival, she spent a year in Mexico before moving back to New York in 1942. She subsequently pursued a distinguished legal career in the United States.

The memoir is fascinating, not just as a testimony of escape, but also as an account of the last day of the life of the celebrated philosopher and literary critic Walter Benjamin. It provides additional corroborative detail of the circumstances surrounding Benjamin’s last journey as well as his state of mind during the last night of his life. It also shows the desperate plight of the refugees and the corruption of Spanish border offi cials.

The memoir was written in 1975, but never published during the author’s lifetime. The typescript was given by the author to Barbara Friedlander, the daughter of Sophie Lippmann in 1976 and is here published for the fi rst time.

“This memoir offers more detail of the crossing and death of Benjamin. With it the dossier of testimony to Benjamin’s death is probably as complete as it ever will be, leaving many questions still open for discussion.” Howard Caygill, Professor of Cultural History, Goldsmiths College, University of London

“I admired the enormous amount of enterprise, strength and resourcefulness of Carina Birman and Sophie Lippmann in overcoming all the dangers that kept springing up in front of them. This account clears up the old mystery of what happened to Walter Benjamin.”Les Murray

“This account gives a glimpse of how a whole stream of German artists and thinkers escaped from the Nazi horror.” Olwyn Hughes

“How this work was written: rung by rung, according as chance would offer a narrow foothold, and always like someone who scales dangerous heights and never allows himself a moment to look round, for fear of becoming dizzy (but also because he would save for the end the full force of the panorama opening out to him).”

Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project, p.460 (English edition published by Harvard University Press, 1999).

Cruel VelvetEbook design

Albert Montague is haunted in his sleeping hours by a mysterious woman and in the day by a sinister man. In Hungary, Professor Polanyi finds a Turkish chronicle that mentions a citadel of evil. Montague falls under the spell of an enchanting aristocrat and is befriended by Major von Metzger. The Major and Polanyi unite against a terrible enemy and a race against time, is played out in Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and the remote Hungarian countryside. Can the fortress of evil be found and its deadly secret unlocked?

I proofread this novel, made the ebook and designed the cover. My cover artwork uses the painting in the Hungarian National Gallery, The Woman in the Red Velvet Dress by Joszef Borsos. The cropping and shading is to illustrate the dark mood of the story. It is intended to be viewed as a thumbnail in online lists as well as in the ebook itself. (Published in 2013)

I designed publicity postcards, a poster and an advert. The postcards were made with slits, so that they could be inserted into each other forming a 3D structure. The poster and advert featured a three-tone posterised effect to emulate a screenprint.
