Fraser Muggeridge studio

Fraser Muggeridge studio
Fraser Muggeridge studio (Alexander Conway, Libby Higgins, Fraser Muggeridge and Manon Veyssière) is a graphic design company based in London.

Throughout a wide range of formats, from artists’ books and exhibition catalogues to posters, marketing material, exhibitions, websites, film titles and music, the studio prioritises artists’ and writers’ content over the imposition of a signature style. By allowing images and texts to sustain their own intent and impact, each project is approached with typographic form and letterform playing a key role in arriving at a sympathetic yet subtly alluring object.

Fraser Muggeridge founded and is a tutor at Typography Summer School, a week-long programme of typographic study for recent graduates and professionals, held in London (since 2010) and New York (since 2013). He is a visiting lecturer at The University of Reading (since 2003) on the MA Book Design Course and visiting professor at Iceland University of the Arts, Reykjavík, Iceland (since 2022). He was appointed Professor of Design at Leeds Beckett University in 2023 and is a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).

He completed a practice-based PhD entitled ‘A Knowing Wrongness: Innovation in graphic design through combinations of traditional mastery and deliberately unconventional techniques’ at RMIT, Melbourne, Australia, in January 2022 (watch examination video here).

Creative Typesetting for Editorial Projects is an online Domestika course for anyone interested in graphic design and typography that explains how to apply practical typographic details to a piece of text to communicate tone, feeling, and emotion. It covers principles of typography, the importance of printing at actual size, the paragraph, grids and marginalia, mathematics, letter and word spacing, typographic detail, paragraph shape and lots more (go to course here).

Work is held at the Special Collections at Chelsea College of Arts Library, London; Tate, London; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art Library, New York; British High Commission Dhaka, Bangladesh; The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Iceland University of the Arts, and The Customs Office, Brussels.

Fraser Muggeridge studio archive

Fraser Muggeridge studio archive is housed in the Lettering, Printing and Graphic Design Collections at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading. It is accessible to students and researchers or anyone who wants to look at the work of a small independent practice in the first two decades of this century. With approximately 2,000 jobs including printed matter, notebooks and preparatory material, it will grow with new material added on a yearly basis.

Word Records

The World’s Largest Enlarged Letter is a project initated by Fraser Muggeridge in 2014 to set the world record for the largest enlarged letter made using a photocopier and A4 sheets of paper. The record has been broken four times and is currently held by Tom Craner-Buckley at 32,000pt.

There are 6 rules which must be followed for the record to be officially recognised. (1) Name of font and size of letter at start and finish. (2) Only a photocopier to be used. (3) Enlargements are started (and made) from A4 paper. (4) Each stage is an enlargement of 200% using A4 paper. (5) Name/s, date and place recorded. (6) All stages are documented and submitted for official adjudication. For enquires and new world record submissions contact us here.
