Working with the V&A team and Mark Garside (Crystallise), thomas.matthews has produced the identity concept and graphic design for the Summer Camp. The concept came from 'un-picking' the design process and empowering the public to realise they knew more than they thought they did. 

Our concept will interject the graphic design of the event programme – through annotation and design mark-ups, it will reveal the story that has lead to the making of the piece. i.e. from initial idea through to production. 

The back of the programme opens up to reveal a poster framework. Using the information they have learnt from the programme and with various cues, tips and a clear grid, visitors are encouraged to make their own poster, reflecting on the event.

The event runs from Friday 30 July, 18:30–22:00 to Saturday 31 July, 13:00–17:00. So come along and be prepared to roll your sleeves up. Who knows – you might discover you know more than you think you do.

We had fun with the crowd at the V&A Village Fete Jubilee making and showcasing London's most talented sock puppets. Young and old got to grips with their inner Sock Stars.
