Good design should feel tough—difficulty means you’re fully engaged. It means you care.

Retrospective: Shakespeare in the Park

In 1954, impresario Joe Papp began a summer tradition of staging free outdoor performances of Shakespeare, inaugurating the Public Theater’s beloved Shakespeare in the Park festival. Pentagram partner Paula Scher, whose relationship with the Public spans four decades, has designed a new identity for the series for thirty consecutive summers. Each campaign is customized to the season’s theme, creating a highly visible graphic vocabulary for outdoor advertising, social media, and on-site signage.

Because of my editorial background I believe that everything we do is about storytelling. Whether it’s a design or a package, it needs to tell you a story. It needs to tell you something.

We have a responsibility whilst filling the world with our creativity. We are deeply affecting our cultures, and that should not be taken lightly.

Retrospective: London Design Festival

London Design Festival has been an annual celebration of the power of creativity for over 20 years. Since 2008, Pentagram partner Domenic Lippa has served as the LDF’s creative director, responsible every September for the design of a new visual identity. By inventively remixing a few key elements — typography, a signature red (“the colour of London”), and LDF's simple monogram — the program unifies hundreds of events while reaffirming London’s status as a global design capital.

Great design can push you out of your aesthetic comfort zone. If it’s meaningful to the client, it’s the right solution.
