The home of modern vintage.
Cath Kidston | Print design, marketing material & POS
I worked in-house for the vintage inspired lifestyle brand Cath Kidston for three years and in that time worked on a huge range of printed material for retail marketing, including POS, window graphics, in-store signage, promotional flyers, e-newsletters and event publications.
Vintage at Southbank is a cultural festival curated by Wayne Hemmingway that celebrates music, fashion, art, design and dance from the 1920s to the 1980s. Cath Kidston set up a pop-up shop in the vintage marketplace at the festival in the style of an old fashioned hardware shop.
I was given the task to design the shop front which was then transformed into a hand painted lifesize fascia, a brand history wall, a ‘Cath Kidston Guide to Vintage at Southbank’ mini mag, along with POS and signage within the shop.
The Spring / Summer 2012 sale identity used the tag line ‘Cheap as Chips’, mimicking the appearance of traditional British chip shop signage. These boards were hung in the window on a chain attached to a sucker and as the sale progresses they were flipped over to show a new customer-facing message communicating further markdowns and a new tag line ‘Now Cheaper than Chips’. This was also supported instore by hanging signs above feature tables, strut cards, along with online marketing and direct mail.
"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Emily at Cath Kidston and to see her grow into a well rounded and multi disciplined designer. She is able to time-manage her projects well and create wonderful designs. Emily was key to helping artwork and implement the brand style to across marketing campaigns and packaging designs. She will be an asset to any team."
