The lines began to inspire the image making. Michael began to master the guardian tone, it was like watching a musician learning a symphony. We must have made 200-300 posters and shared as many lines.

It was the first time I got to design the product and design the communication – this would be something that I've decided to do throughout my career.Ĭreating communication which matched the newspaper’s quality was hard and seemed impossible at times. This time I was working on the blank pages. When I'd worked on the Broad Sheet, all the advertising pages were blank, we had no idea what would be there. The joy of getting to work with The Guardian team again inspired me. I made a leap that we could use the extended color palette that Mark had created for the sections to express the openness and egalitarian values the newspaper upheld. Mark and I agreed that the advertising would only use the boldest weight so as to separate the work from the editorial language and subtlety of the newspaper. I called Mark Porter and asked if I could use the new Guardian Typeface he'd designed with Paul Barnes & Christian Schwartz at Commercial Type for the Berliner –. And most importantly for me it matched the integrity that I remembered when working with Alan Rusbridger his team.Īfter we won the pitch, we had to sustain the intensity to create work. Telling well and understanding the importance of journalism was everything The Guardian cared about. Design thinking has not only helped them change. We presented the pitch, about the importance of telling well, and how it should be a skill shared and coveted by everyone. Earlier this year The Guardian underwent a rebrand introducing a new font, masthead and a tabloid format. Taking the integrity of the newspaper out of the newspaper and into the world was the idea. It was simple, emotionally smart and it was genius, The Guardian was known for its integrity and traditional 'advertising' seemed somehow wrong. Along with its sister papers The Observer and The Guardian Weekly, The Guardian is part of the Guardian Media Group, owned by the Scott Trust. It was founded in 1821 as The Manchester Guardian, and changed its name in 1959. Our first day working on the pitch Michael said, "let’s not make advertising for The Guardian, let’s just take the newspaper for a walk'. The Guardian is a British daily newspaper. I'd spent some of my best design days working with Mark Porter there and his recent redesign for The Berliner was absolutely stunning. In the spring, the hills behind the cliffs are covered in blooming flowers.I came back to Wieden + Kennedy London after a short break, my dear friend Michael Russoff had called me because they were going to pitch The Guardian Newspaper account.

Other fun activities include tide pooling, camping, or picnicking. A swooping cliff-side spans the length of the beach like a giant, granite Guardian and offers a number of hiking trails by dawnlight and tanning in the afternoon sun. Guardian Agate Sans G2 Duplex Bold Agate Beach, so called for the stones dotting its shoreline, attracts hundreds of rock collectors each spring and fall (summer is characterized by intermittent fog). The table also provides the name of the Guardian Angel that corresponds to each time period. If you birthday falls in any of the periods listed in the chart below, a Botswana Agate of the color listed beside the date can act as an amplifier and conduit for your Guardian Angel. Botswana Agate is soothing to the grieving, loving to the lonely, and protector to the lost. It is a member of the family of fortification agates, cherished for their quiet, centering energy, best harnessed in mediation. Guardian Agate Sans G2 Regular Tinted in warm browns, soft grays, and gentle pinks, Botswana Agate warms the soul from the inside like a colorful cup of tea.
