Branding projects by Mark Winwood
-
Virgin Classics
Commissioned by Jeremy Hall, Mark Winwood designed over 75 record covers for Virgin Classics, and was one of the leading lights involved in the 'design revolution' that was redefining classical record sleeves during that time. This was picked up by Creative Review who wrote the article 'Music's Little Gems' in the early nineties which heavily included Mark's work. It was an excellent opportunity to explore old and forgotten typefaces and pen Elizabethan calligraphy for various projects as and when it was needed. He also worked for EMI and Decca. -
The Elysian Centre
The Elysian Centre is a new holistic centre, based in Rye, East Sussex which features the very best of holistic therapists in the area. Mark Winwood was commissioned to design the logo and The Elysian Centre’s website. Mark based the logo on the four humors and created a logo which is strong and elegant. The website’s emphasis is heavily based around people – their clients and therapists – and not with a stock photograph in sight. It has received very good criticism and a number of therapists and clients have asked Mark to design their websites as a direct result. -
Women’s Institute
It was a widely publicised fact that The WI celebrated their 100th Anniversary last year and as part of their celebrations one of their groups approached Mark Winwood to chronicle the year of the life of their village. Published in February 2016, it follows along the lines of a scrapbook that Wi groups made in 1965 to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. Although he has moved out of the area of book design a long time ago, he did this special one-off commission for them, as well as writing and illustrating cartoons styled on The Daily Telegraph’s ‘Matt’, that feature throughout the book. -
Flog my Car
Mark’s fifth website design in 2016 was for a new company, Kent based Flog My Car. The combination of SEO keywords and effective design has proven to be highly successful. With regards to the design, there are quite a few businesses in this marketplace so the challenge was to come up with a look that customers could relate to but that also looked different from the well known UK market leader and all the companies that blatantly copy their formula. The emphasis here is on simplicity and the layout works very well on all platforms. -
The Ferry Inn
Restaurant owner Paul Withers-Green approached Mark to re-design The Ferry website. With help from expert web coder Shakeel Ahmed, It was the first website that Mark had coded. The website captures all the wit, charm and charisma of the rural english pub and features a set of vintage beer mats on the site, one of which Mark illustrated in a fifties ‘Famous Five’ style which has since been printed as a beer mat in its own right. Following its success the plan is to produce a series of five pastiche beer mats, charting rural comment from the thirties through to the seventies. -
The Potato Shop
Initially asked to take a series of gorgeous pictures of their potatoes for advertising purposes, he came up with an idea for their website and was commissioned to design it in the very first meeting! Since he didn’t know anything about web design he designed the look and put the layout into the hands of a web designer to put together. These are Mark’s original layouts. He now either codes the sites himself or, on the more complex designs, he has a few seasoned coders who have the ability to take his designs and implement them exactly to his specifications. -
Books, design
Mark designed book covers for most of the top publishers in the UK during the mid 80s and 90s, including Penguin, Virago, Heinemann, Hamish Hamilton and Verso amongst many many others. The combination of winning a D&AD Award and commissioning illustrators brought him under the radar of The Association of Illustrators, where he sat as a judge of their review panel for 1989. He went on to design fully illustrated books for several years, where he commissioned photographers, illustrations and book designers. He worked for a variety of imprints and publishing houses during that time. -
Altai Healing
“I love your website, it’s just perfect, words, imagery, info etc. You really have reached out creating a feeling of warmth and genuine connection. Mark has done you proud with his photos and his design, he’s brilliant! It is all so you! The images of the horse touched me in a deep and emotional way. Wonderful website, congratulations. You do your equine healing with people! I feel this very strongly around you – a healing centre!”
