We produced this rather gorgeous catalogue for the BA Graphic Design course at Kingston School of Art .school.of.art in June this year, and Course Leader Marcus Leis Allion had some lovely words to say about his experience with us. Cheers Marcus!
“Our new course publication arrived this morning. It looks, feels – and smells – fantastic. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
We benefitted hugely from your insights, suggestions and the knowledge and care you and your fellow workers have put into this publication. Thank you for making this project such an enjoyable one.”

The white poppy is designed and produced for Peace Pledge Union by Calverts London. It's 100% reusable and recyclable, and a lovely thing altogether!

☮️ Peace Pledge Union marks its 90th anniversary with a fresh pledge for the future ☮️

As it marks its 90th year, the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) has reiterated its commitment to strive for a world without war.

Back in 1934, the PPU arose out of a campaign initiated by the pacifist Dick Sheppard who issued an open letter encouraging people to pledge they would never again support another war.

This was set against the backdrop of deteriorating relationships between European nations, bringing with it fears of another bloody and tragic conflict. Sheppard’s call elicited tens of thousands of replies within a few weeks from people whose pledge remains the basis of PPU membership to this day:

“War is a crime against humanity. I renounce war, and am therefore determined not to support any kind of war. I am also determined to work for the removal of all causes of war.”

By 1936, this movement had formally evolved into the Peace Pledge Union, open to ‘men and women of... divergent philosophic, religious and political opinions.’ Its prominent members have included Aldous Huxley, Siegfried Sassoon, Vera Brittain, Benjamin Britten, Michael Tippett, Sybil Morrison and Bertrand Russell.

Today the PPU is not only Britain’s oldest secular pacifist organisation, but also a leading voice in promoting pacifism and nonviolence, and resisting militarism and the causes of war.

The PPU is best known for distributing white poppies, which stand for remembrance of all victims of war, both civilian and military, and challenge the militarisation of Remembrance Day… link to full article in bio.
