Developing the global brand guidelines

Matt Rudd
ITV Creative / Rudd Studio


This project happened at a frantic pace and we needed Paul’s considered, intelligent thinking and doing to help achieve a cohesive, high-quality result.

In particular, Paul was given the project to design and develop the ‘Global Language’ guidelines. This substantial document would provide detailed directions on how creatives should use the new ITV visual language when creating printed material including brochures, banners, signs, wall graphics, exhibition stands, invites, adverts, and so on.

We ended up with a beautiful document that is both approachable and informative. It is packed with examples of the new brand in use. It is a pleasure to use and will undoubtedly help ITV maintain a strong, modern, and consistent brand.

As well as the highest creative standards, Paul is endlessly upbeat and brings great positivity and cheeriness to proceedings. It was a pleasure working with him on this project.

We put out an open call for designers interested in creating story-telling tools for children. In subsequent conversations with Paul, it soon became clear that not only did he understand the ambitions and goals of Penguin’s project but also had some really strong creative notions for the project. Paul went on to develop the most ambitious of the tools on the We Make Stories project, the 3D pop-up book generator Pop! This produces beautiful physical and digital pop-up books and has been used and enjoyed by children and adults the world over. Pop! was delivered on time and on budget despite the technical challenges that were set.

Paul worked with us on a challenging brief around mapping data for an NGO. He immediately gained the client’s trust. He delivers consistently beautiful work and is a pleasure to deal with. Paul delivered fantastic visual design across the full interface of the application. His distillation of client and user needs impressed the client and us and made the creative direction phase of this project very enjoyable.

He works well within a team and is a strong communicator, both with the clients and the team. Paul is one of the best designers I know.
