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. -
The Covid Years
“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” -
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. -

“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!” -

“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.”
