Signed & Numbered by the artist, Bang Bang is being sold for the first time online via the Design Museum Shop with the original on display at the Design Museum as part of the Woman at Work display, now showing Limited edition of 25 At the London Original Print Fair 2018 Jealous proudly exhibited the first screenprint created by Margaret Calvert OBE, entitled ‘Woman At Work’. The 16 colour screenprint was a big triumph and now forms part of the Victoria & Albert Permanent Print Collection, the Government Art Collection, the Royal College of Art Collection and many esteemed private collections. Following the success of this first print, Jealous worked with the design icon once again, on this innovative screenprint design inspired by her instantly recognisable road signage The concept behind the print began in 2015 when The Design Museum celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Calvert and Kinneir British road signage system. The exhibition included a free installation of new and original signs commissioned by Peter Blake, Julien Opie, Kenneth Grange and Jock Kinneir’s son Ross; as well as a special one-off sign created by Margaret Calvert. It is this special and very rare sign that inspired the screenprint The road sign signifies ‘No Vehicles Expect Bicycles Being Pushed’ and is a very uncommon sign, only being used in very specific circumstances and in odd locations across the UK. Margaret was given the sign, which she then organised to be shot 50 times by a friend - the number of bullet holes signifying the years passed since the standardisation of the British road network by Calvert and Kinnear. After the exhibition, the sign was returned to Margaret who lived with it for many years. It was only through a number of meetings with Jealous that Calvert suggested the recreation of this beautiful sign in screenprint format The print is a design and format never before attempted in screenprint! A double-sided print of an incredibly intricate nature, featuring layers of aluminium leaf and varnishing Dispatched within 7 working days of order placed

You'll see this sign in Richmond Park, Scotland and other places of wild and natural beauty In 1965, one of the most ambitious and effective signing systems was launched in Britain. The new system, relating to Continental protocol, included a set of pictograms and a new letterform named Transport designed by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert. Despite minor modifications, the system still remains in place today Margaret drew the pictograms in the friendly, curvaceous style found in the Transport typeface. Many of her illustrations were inspired by aspects of her own life. The cow featured in the triangular sign was based on Patience, a cow on her relatives’ Warwickshire farm Eager to make the school children crossing sign more accessible, she replaced the image of a boy in a school cap leading a little girl, with one of a girl – modelled on a photograph of herself as a child – with a younger boy. The British Road Sign Project was curated by artist and designer Patrick Murphy. It celebrated the 50th anniversary of the signs by inviting over 80 leading artists and designers to transform the familiar circle, triangle and square signs. Participants included Sir Peter Blake and Sir Terence Conran. The collaborative signs evolved the original signs' function of instructing people about speed limits and directions into a poetic disruption of our everyday. An installation of signs took place at the Design Museum during London Design Festival 2015 Patrick worked with Margaret to choose five of her original signs to celebrate the 50th anniversary. The five subsequent prints are now available to buy as limited edition signed copies Project information can be found at www.britishroadsignproject.co.uk Edition: 50 Signed by Margaret Calvert Supplied without a frame

Designing Orientation: Signage Concepts & Wayfinding Systems

The purpose and primary function of wayfinding and signage design is to provide spatial orientation as quickly and clearly as possible. Respective concepts and systems can be designed for individual buildings, for example corporate headquarters, museums or hospitals, for areas such as a university campus or distinct municipal district, or for entire systems like a city's public transport. In addition to communicating direction, the interplay of typography, pictograms, materials, colours and shapes in these systems also delineates a particular identity of the location On the basis of international realisations this title shows the range of different approaches and implementation possibilities of environmental graphics. No matter what kind of spatial context, the focus is always on visual communication that is understandable for every user. This volume is an indispensable reference work for anyone involved in communications, as well as for architects, interior designers, graphic designers, and indeed creatives minds of any sectors.
