Design 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. -

“Mark helped us through the process of re-branding and redesigning our company logo and also the look/feel of our marketing and print advertising materials. He was very quick to come up with some excellent options, very reactive to our requests for any adjustments and most importantly he really tuned in to what we needed as film/TV special effects company – he really understood where we were coming from. The end result is a totally refreshed and rejuvenated logo which along with the new advertising has impressed and delighted clients and company directors alike” -
Lockdown, photography
In Lockdown and in the coming months after it we (as a family) had never been so busy: I was giving free yoga classes for workers at The Samaritans via Zoom and designing logos for US clients during the evenings. The days were taken up with a massive photography project for the RHS at home and with it a collection of smaller projects – some of which have been included here. One of those projects was for Selfridges US at the UK flagship store in Oxford Street. Taking shots within the Government guidelines could be tricky at times but smoke and mirrors made it look as though everything was normal and as it should be. -
Graphic 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. -

“Mark wanted to make this series of photographs very delicate and all with the same dying light at the end of the day. To capture the final moments of light throughout the photographs in this article, the 20 shots were carefully flagged and set up in advance with all photographs being shot within the 15 minute window, with the final shot – of the field in front of the house – was done moments before the sun disappeared behind the trees.“ -

“Mark is an intuitive, creative and patient person to work with. He was able to understand my needs, gently suggest directions to move towards and create a website that, I felt, very much suited my particular needs. For someone who is non-techno – though I know what I like – I was never made to feel inadequate. The result is a website that is simple, clear and beautifully designed. He has captured the very essence of my work and it has gone done very well with my clients.”
