Margaret CalvertJock Kinnear

Occupation: Calvert – IllustratorKinneir – Graphic Designer

Design Philosophy: Developing clear and easy to read, when driving fast (road graphics/signage).

First they developed a new Typeface that was easy to read when driving fast, called ‘Transport’. The letters were sans

serif and slightly curved.

They then developed a system of pictograms instead of word, and based the designs around their own

backgrounds. The pictograms are clear and easy to understand when travelling at speed.
