1986-1993
The earliest design work executed for the Museum was a book, Engineering Design, and in the same year we were responsible for the design and production of the first Science Museum Review; working closely with the editor, Andrew Nahum, we commissioned a series of photographs from Phil Sayer which were to throw a new light (both literally and figuratively) on some of the Museum's most hallowed possessions, and which formed the basic illustrations for the Review. Eight of the photographs we commissioned for the Science Museum Review were later selected for a set of posters, intended for sale in the Science Museum, the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, Bradford, and the National Railway Museum, York. Phil Sayer's photography was ideally suited to this purpose.
