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

If you've ever driven past a school you will have seen the important Chldren Crossing road sign depicting an older girl leading a younger boy 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

With many now seeing the return of British Rail as a solution to the manifest problems on Britain’s railways in the 21st century, the work of BR is being re-evaluated on various levels. This book focuses on one aspect of this, BR’s architectural legacy showing how it pursued innovation and experiment in this field British Rail Architecture demonstrates how twentieth century British railway stations were being brought into the mainstream of modern architecture. It explores not just the buildings and their designers but styles, materials, furniture, colours, artworks and unexpected links to distant places that inspired these changing design idioms The book’s structure is loosely chronological, accounting for the time architecture takes to evolve from a sketch to a finished building. It begins with the ambitious ideas conceived during the 1930s with inspiration from mainland Europe and then examines post Second World War reconstruction as a precursor to the considerable innovation of the 1950s and 1960s. The narrative then recounts the new design ideas brought to the railway environment during the 1970s and the considerable investments in comprehensive reconstruction and new station projects between in the 1980s and 90s

British Rail Designed 1948-97 is about the design successes, and failures, of Britain's most extensive state-sponsored industry. It is a story of people and ideas, movement and design, speed and colour; it is a comprehensive celebration of the crafting, operation and marketing of a national railway system, by which four main-line companies with steam-powered empires were transformed into a modern transport system The principle subjects of this book are the railway system as an entity; the places where trains stop (station architecture and interiors, lettering design); the vehicles themselves (locomotives, passenger and freight vehicles); the people who operate the system (uniformed staff); the means of encouraging and facilitating travel (printed publicity, graphics, tickets, holiday packages) This is also a study of how politics and the civil service, geography and urbanisation were manifested in the design processes and products

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.

Railway buildings have always had a fascinating character all of their own, despite many no longer being in operational railway service. This book tells the story of how these buildings evolved alongside the development of the railway in Great Britain and examines how architects over the years have responded to the operational, social and cultural influences that define their work. Written for those with a keen interest in architecture and the railway, as well as those new to the subject, The Architecture and Legacy of British Railway Buildings provides an unique insight into the production of railway architecture, both in the context of railway management and the significant periods of ownership, and the swings in national mood for railway-based transportation. As well as tracing its history, the authors take time to consider the legacy these buildings have left behind and the impact of heritage on a continually forward-looking industry Topics covered include: the context of railway architecture today; the history of how it came into existence; the evolution of different railway building types; the unique aspects of railway building design, and finally, the key railway development periods and their architectural influences

This book is a selection of projects from across the world in which the graphic signage system stands out not only for its meticulous form but its unmistakable illustrative function. Public spaces where a large number of people need to find their way such as auditoriums, airports, museums, hotels, shopping centres and offices require a good orientation system to handle and facilitate the circulation of these people, in addition to ensuring easy accessibility. Signage must achieve this objective to ensure the result is effective, intelligible to everyone and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Matters such as scale, volume, position, colours and materials used to build the signage will be determined by the type of equipment or office while graphic communication elements will reflect and be adapted to the client's identity Symbols, fonts, pictograms, arrows, optical effects and other resources are used here in a multitude of surprising, suggestive and varied ways that will not fail to grab readers' attention, presenting them with an extensive range of ideas in which to find inspiration
