Challenge

Create a logo inspired by the bookshop owner’s lighthouse tattoo. The mark needs to act as a beacon reaching readers beyond the horizon. It should inspire people and encourage a broader 
mindset, stepping into another world through the power of words. I consolid-ated of all the book shop’s print and digital material, to create a more consistent visual brand identity.

I designed a poster campaign to increase new footfall. The concept was based on the insight that some people find the prospect of a radical bookshop intimidating, deterring potential customers. We decided to face this
pain point head-on with the tagline:
‘Our books don’t bite!’
The posters themselves were designed
for riso printing using ethical and environmentally friendly inks and paper, consistent with the Lighthouse’s brand
values of Queer, Green and Ethical. This is some text inside of a div block.

More recently, I designed a digital emblem
to represent Lighthouse’s solidarity and fortitude during Spring/ Summer 2020 keeping their community of book-lovers afloat, encouraging them to virtually
‘climb on board’.
This also included an illustrated sticker
to support the general indie bookshop scene. I chose to feature Artemis, the bookshop’s lovable pooch to represent loyalty and non-conformism.
