Suffolk New College and Gainsborough’s House, Sudbury Art&Design Saturday Clubs came together for a collaborative Masterclass with Regular Practice, a design studio specialising in visual identities and branding. 

The session began with an inspiring talk from Tom, co-founder of Regular Practice. He shared insights into his university experience, how he launched the studio after graduating, and presented recent projects, explaining how the company has developed over time. 

Club members then explored typography by sourcing interesting letterforms from everyday packaging. They chose their favourite letters and fonts and sketched them onto coloured A4 card. They then cut them out and created as many letters as possible within 20 minutes. 

Next, they arranged their cut-outs into poster designs. These were then rotated amongst the group, with each Club member reworking a different layout multiple times, each round faster than the last. 

For the final activity, they scaled up their designs using A1 sized paper, collaborating to create one large composition.
