Craig Ward and Ian Wright: (2015) RED Artists

Originally hailing from rural Lincolnshire, Craig Ward is a New York based typographer and illustrator who likes playing with words. Craig brings headlines to life, creating new typographic treatments and continuously exploring the notion of word as image. Earlier this year, Craig met one of his design idols, Ian Wright. They immediately decided to find a project to partner on. Lucky for us, they collaborated on the (RED)’s 2015 campaign.
Ian’s work has spanned four decades and has been exhibited internationally, including numerous high-profile editorials and record sleeves. Craig and Ian used raffia rope to carefully create our headline and number by dissembling then twisting, knotting and braiding.
