Brand gives research project gravitas

Brand identity Web design Graphic design Book design

I was briefed to design an identity and website for a multi-million pound, five-year, University of Oxford research project. I created a unique identity, logo and website, differentiating the project from similar research programmes. The work has been well received and helped to create a sense of authority and excitement around the project.

Update: to mark the end of the five-year project I designed a highly illustrated 256-page book. The book is a collection of thought-provoking essays on diasporas and migration.

“I have worked with Mark Epton on the development of a visual identity for a new research programme. He designed the programme’s website and promotional leaflet and will go on to help us with exhibition leaflets, annual reports and so on. Mark has a very thorough approach to design work. I have been impressed with his intellectual engagement with the task: generating a visual identity that expresses something of what the research is about, and conveys a certain amount of solidity and gravitas. He is not afraid to play ‘devil’s advocate’ with proposed ideas, which makes for a very robust and well thought-through end product. In sum, I have found the experience of working with Mark very rewarding and I would highly recommend him.”
