Jeremy and Paul approached us, having been commissioned by TATE Liverpool, to design a publication with them about the life of Brian Epstein (the Beatles manager) which would be an artwork as part of the exhibition – Liverpool, Centre of the Creative Universe.

We used the typography of the signage on Epstein’s parents shop front (where McCartney bought his first guitar) and the familiar language of novels and guidebooks. This was an hommage to Epstein, whose lifetime in Liverpool is often forgotten. A pile of publications which the public could take from formed a tall gold column in the gallery space.
