About

A Practice for Everyday Life is a design agency working with some of the world’s most successful companies, galleries, institutions and individuals. We create a diverse range of work including brand identities, art direction, signage & wayfinding, exhibition design, print, editorial & publishing and websites from concept to production.

We investigate, explore and experiment to draw together stories which can translate and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This approach has always led to thoughtful and inspired design solutions, and earned us a reputation for crafting intelligent, beautiful and innovative work.

We have established an exceptional reputation through work for Architects’ Journal, British Council, Phillips de Pury, Tate Modern & Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum and Wellcome Trust and are an increasingly sought after partner for collaborations with architects, curators, creative directors and photographers.

Tate Games

Printed Material

We designed a number of free print-based interactive games for children at Tate Modern, in collaboration with illustrator Anthony Burrill. They included: Building Explorer, in which children take on this explorer role by wearing the pop-out yellow hard-hat provided and making drawings with the pop-out cardboard ruler and protractor as they are encouraged to investigate the gallery; and Art Inspector, which plays on the officialdom of inspectors in English institutions. The children identify which artists in the galleries are breaking the Art Rules – and use their sticker sets to make up their report.
