About

These guidelines have been created by the Barbican Studio, which is the in-house design team at the Barbican Centre, London. The Studio creates most of the visual material for the Centre. It is based in the Marketing Department and consists of four permanent designers.

The current structure of the design team was created in 2011 and coincides with a major rebranding project undertaken by North. The philosophy of the team is based on the visual guidelines North created at the time. These set out a flexible system influenced by the Centre’s vision of ‘arts without boundaries’ and includes strong visual elements that allow freedom and diversity.

Questions draw the reader in, and make them take notice of what we’re saying.

Questions are also a useful way of breaking down detail or instructions:

  • What time does the performance start?
  • Can I get a refund for my ticket?
  • What happens if I’m running late?






Example:

We take a look at how musicians have dealt with the subject of masculinity.
