Love books.
Working on a book is a labour of love. Planning it out, templating pages and sections, choosing typefaces, all the little typesetting intricacies...
Laying out editorial content, as the studio for Mongrel magazine, was the first regular work for A Worthy Cause. In time that work expanded, but a love of pages full of text remained.
The studio's emphasis is on craft and detail. Books and magazines require this forensic approach.
In 2023 the RDS engaged a curator, Nicole Collins, to document their art collection. Spanning 3 centuries, the hard back book was creating to be a lasting record, showing the most outstanding pieces and telling their stories.
For At It Again, A Worthy Cause was engaged as an editorial design consultant. They had a strong brand and wanted to evolve it, all spinning out from their core product - guides to Irish literature. The entire brand was rebuilt starting with the books' typography, grids and templates and working out from there.
