- "Despite a very restrictive brief, Damyon Garrity came up with a dynamic and arresting design which convinced a committee from all areas of gallery activity that a contemporary design would work."

Hanging banners were implemented to physically filter light from skylights and audio between levels. They carry inspirational messages with hidden meta messages that encourage development in a number of different areas to create a positive legacy. The dandelion seeds blowing in the wind are evocative of capturing wishes and dreams from childhood. The quotations help to encourage pupils to realise their potential.Graphic Design, Typography, Interior Design2011 -
Last year we completed the design and installation of new wall graphics at the Doncaster South City Learning Centre. These large scale designs feature the identity’s we created for each of the different ‘zones’ in the learning centre, featuring relevant information and inspirational quotes as well as aspirational imagery. These boards have proved very successful, receiving very positive comments from visitors to the centre.Graphic Design, Print Design, Interior Design2011 -
Colour psychology was employed to reference colours and textures used in ambient imagery signaling internal intuitive directional signage for different music genres, guiding shoppers at an almost subliminal level. Colour frequencies, amongst other elements were referenced to the type of music being signaled.Graphic Design2012 -
Internal and external directional signage designed intuitively with iconography that is colour coded to match the walls of the learning destination. Chevrons point the way; reducing in length the closer you reach destination, until you arrive when you are presented with a Google style place marker. Icons, developed with MCA comply with legislative requirements helping people find their destination with ease.Design, Signage2011
