‘Sketching with Stickers’

An exhibition of Marina Willer’s artworks on Pith sketchbooks at the Design Museum.

On show as part of this year’s London Design Festival, the ‘Sketching with Stickers’ project reflects Marina’s lifelong love of pattern and colour.

After being on display at the Design Museum, the entire collection of sketchbooks was made available to buy at Pith’s website, with proceeds supporting the humanitarian aid charity Choose Love, which supports women and children in war zones.

Marina customised 50 one-of-a-kind Pith® sketchbooks with joyful compositions made using her signature fluoro stickers.

The result is a vibrant celebration of colour and diversity, showcasing Marina’s distinctive design approach and providing a striking contrast to the overwhelming nature of the digital world that surrounds us.

Marina and her team created a generative tool which people can use to create their own patterns digitally, inspired by the analogue methods and compositions in the exhibition.

Visitors were encouraged to create their own compositions in the playground area of the Museum—this proved extremely popular, with people of all ages having fun making their own patterns with stickers.

Retrospective: Saturday Night Live

When a scruffy after-hours comedy show debuted in NBC’s Studio 8H on October 11, 1975, no one could have known that the entertainment world was about to be changed forever. Over the next half century, Saturday Night Live would launch the careers of countless global stars, create indelible catch phrases, and consolidate the reputations of musical acts from Talking Heads to Kendrick Lamar. Since 1994, Pentagram partner Emily Oberman has been the steward of SNL’s graphic image, from the show’s iconic opening titles, to books celebrating its legacy. With each project, she meets the challenge of acknowledging the franchise’s extraordinary legacy while keeping its profile fresh, surprising, and funny.
