our approach

Design for the real world

What kind of designers are we? Sensitive, creative, expert, attentive and absolutely professional, say clients.

When you work with Calverts, you're not buying a Calverts house style. You're tapping into a flexible resource of experience, creativity and project management know how which will deliver your visuals, campaigns, publications, websites and marketing collateral on time, on budget and on brand.

Designing for the real world means developing solutions that are not just beautiful and engaging, but also mindful of resources and people. We work with our clients to deliver printed and electronic communications that are financially and environmentaly sustainable. To us, this means no wasted words, no wasted materials and no wasted effort; or, as someone once said, designing on the principle that 'less is more'.

Little Press

Take some cast metal type, add parts of a radio cassette player, a wooden block, some assorted rods, a little copper, and a large helping of creative nous to get this fantastic little letterpress machine. Click here to see a short video on the project or here for more detail.

Web design

Client: Civil Liberties Trust / Liberty
Project: Capital appeal

Following a successful campaign to increase membership in 2009, we have been working with Liberty again to design and produce fundraising tools and materials in support of their new building in the heart of Westminster.

Starting with the creation of a dynamic website - www.futureofliberty.org.uk - where donors are encouraged to add their personalised message of support to a virtual wall, we continued in the same stylistic vein, designing and printing 12,000 pop-up mailers to raise awareness of the online fundraising tool.

Statistical data on response rates isn't in yet but initial feedback from the client is very positive - this could be one of their most successful campaigns to date.
