Jessica Hische and Paul Buckley have collaborated on an exciting new project, a series of cover designs for classic literature featuring Jessica’s Drop Caps. The first six titles, below, look pretty amazing.

Pride And Prejudice by Jane Auesten.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

My Antonia by Willa Cather.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.

Middlemarch by George Eliot.

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding.

G70, Charlotte Road.

I was walking around Shoreditch yesterday when I came across this lovely typographic image painted on a door next to the Kemistry Gallery on Charlotte Road. I wasn’t sure what it represented at the time, but a quick online search revealed it to be connected to a retrospective look at the work of Kemistry Co-Founder Graham McCallum, marking his Seventieth birthday. 

Sadly, the exhibition has now passed, but I love this design and hope that it isn’t replaced any time soon as it brings a bold, colourful statement to the street.
