One of life’s great simple pleasures is flicking through the pages of a well designed book, at least from the perspective of a graphic designer.
In the interest of shining a light on the beauty of design related publications, we’ve asked our design team to let us in on what books they’ve recently added to their collections:
Nick, Lead Graphic Designer
New Utilitarian, Viction
New Utilitarian curates the work of designers and studios approaching their practice from a trend-devoid, holistic perspective. Utilitarian design draws from classic design principles such as form follows function, and merges simplicity, technology and futurism into a strong and striking contemporary visual language.

Charles, Senior Graphic Designer
Shape Grammars, Jannis Maroscheck
An amazing insight into the power of technology and production systems. This book has been a reference point for a bunch of different projects, sketches and even motion pieces of mine during the past year. It’s a great example of how far production and systematic graphic forms can be taken.

Simon, Graphic Designer
The Book of Signs, by Rudolf Koch
The book of signs provides a great collection of primitive and mediaeval symbols collected, drawn and explained by typographer Rudolf Koch. It shows a graphic history of the development of written communication and offers a great insight into the psychology of the primitive mind.
The book is divided into 14 categories ranging from Medieval church monograms to house and holding marks.

Amy, Junior Graphic Designer
U.K. Rave Flyers 1991-1996 & New York Rave Flyers 1991-1995, Colpa Press
These two books form part of a wider series documenting early to mid-90s rave flyers. What I love most is how well they capture the evolving landscape of design during this period, marked by the increasing prevalence of digital techniques alongside analog and handmade imagery. Moreover, the contrast in styles between regions is fascinating. UK posters often delve into surrealism and draw from sci-fi, while those from New York heavily incorporate consumerist and commercial elements, featuring iconic brands like Absolut Vodka, Lego, and Marlboro.

When I first came across the internship at Kenshō, I was looking for an opportunity in Gibraltar before heading into my final year at university... Something that would give me a taste of life in a creative studio and a chance to finally put into practice what I’d been studying. I was lucky to find Kenshō advertising a two-week student internship on their social media, and I applied immediately.
I had already referenced Kenshō in my university work as an inspiring agency in Gibraltar, so I was familiar with their work. They had a range of different projects with a clean, thought-out style. I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t miss. It felt like it was the perfect place to learn, contribute, and grow as a graphic design student in Gibraltar and also prepare me for my final year in University.
Before starting, I was quite nervous. It was a completely new environment, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I worried about whether I’d be able to apply my graphic design knowledge from university in a real-world setting, and even whether I’d enjoy working in a design agency despite studying Graphic Design. I imagined I might just be observing from the sidelines and quietly working at a desk. But from my very first day, I realised I had nothing to worry about. The team couldn’t have been more approachable and welcoming. They made me feel included straight away, showing patience and taking the time to explain their roles in depth. During my first week, they walked me through how to process a new client brief and encouraged me to contribute by sharing my ideas and sketches throughout the design journey.
Over the two-week internship, I was given the chance to get involved in real client work. I sat in on meetings, joined creative discussions, and watched how ideas are designed, refined, and brought to life from start to finish. It was amazing to be part of these sessions and to see first-hand how the team translates a client’s vision into design, and how they handle feedback in such a professional and creative way. I quickly realised just how much groundwork goes into a project before design even begins, particularly the initial communication and research phases. I discovered I really enjoyed the strategic part of the process, which is something I might not have realised without this internship. Along the way, I also learnt the basics of software I hadn’t used before, like Figma, as well as valuable design tips and platforms that I’ll now take forward into my university work.
The studio environment at Kenshō was inspiring and extremely encouraging. Everyone was supportive and always happy to answer questions. I enjoyed going into the office every morning and looked forward to it over the weekend. I am now leaving this internship with a much clearer understanding of what it’s like to work in a creative team and how graphic design works in practice. I have learnt how to approach projects, and the difference that good communication makes in producing the best design possible. Every single day within these two weeks I have walked out the office having learnt something new, making it a very valuable step in my design journey. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity and excited to take what I’ve learnt into my future work.
Thank you Kenshō!
