A new crowdfunded book delves into the life and work of Margaret Calvert, a pioneering British graphic designer known for her impactful contributions to public service design. Featuring unseen archive material and sketches, the book charts her career from iconic road signage to projects for British Rail and the Tyne and Wear Metro.
Aficionados of some of the most iconic and influential pieces of 21st century British graphic design should head over to, the definitive book on the life and output of Margaret Calvert. Edited by designer and educator Adrian Shaughnessy and designed by Calvert herself with Scott Williams and Henrik Kubel of A2/SW/HK, this 240-page hardback is being crowdfunded now.– which unfortunately took place during the pandemic – this is the first ever book to focus on Calvert’s work.
As with all crowdfunded projects, there are multiple editions and rewards, including a slipcase, prints and a special signed ‘Woman at Work’ reflective road sign.
