Designing for Kirkstall Art Trail
Last month we had the pleasure of taking part in the Kirkstall Art Trail through designing promotional material and maps for the Leeds community and approximately 500 visitors.
The Trail showcased local artists with amazing talent bringing neighbours together in the wonderful setting of Kirkstall. We loved the community spirit of this project!
We gathered inspiration by walking through the suburb, getting a feel of what visitors might see or experience on the trail. We wanted to combine the urban feel of the area with a sense of an adventure to create a dynamic and striking design.

Diversity of experiences and perspectives is vital precisely because we all have our blind spots. That’s why it’s important for designers to actually engage their audiences and users to get a better understanding of what’s important to them, how they use what you design and how they see and interpret what you create.
