Studio DBD designs identity for Foilco's new travelling Workshop

Workshop is a new travelling workshop by Foilco, created to inspire and educate as well as showcase different foiling techniques and processes associated with foil.

Aimed at creatives, whether students or graduates, designers or illustrators, Workshop will be a great opportunity to find out more and get involved.

For its brand identity, Foilco called upon the talents of David Sedgwick, founder of Manchester's Studio DBD. "It’s based around the perforations found within the D4 shade card, Foilco’s industry-leading sample book," explains David. "It gave me a playful device to work with and we plan to do quite a lot with it such as stencils for the attendees to work with, t-shirts and more foiled goodies."

First up on the Workshop trail is the next Multiplicity in Bristol on 26 April where there'll be a free drop-in at the city's Paintworks. It will then travel to Clerkenwell as part of London Design Week and then on to the Birmingham Design Festival.
