“I really enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone and receiving one-to-one guidance on my artwork from a real designer, which was amazing!”
“It’s beneficial to have artists and designers in and around our working space as it gives us an insight into what we can do in the future!”
EXHIBITION
Bridges on the Tyne
November 2022
Will Robinson is a North East based Graphic Designer whose work explores branding for different products and companies.
His hometown of Newcastle has not previously featured in his work therefore he took this residency opportunity to pay homage to the city.
The new body of work responded to the familiarity and heritage of the Newcastle bridges and explored their timeless structure through a series of new typefaces.
Using lino, Will developed a series of traditional prints to accompany the typefaces.
