Cuckfield Bookfest

THE CHALLENGE: The Cuckfield Bookfest started in 2017, a local book festival with a varied programme catering for everybody’s tastes. We were tasked to design a programme; They wanted a bold cover that would catch the eye, and a layout that easy to read, which would help people find the events they were interested in.

THE OUTCOME: To give the programme a modern feel we used contemporary typography that helped to tie the design in with the literary subject of the festival. Furthermore, we used solid colour and snapshots of the book artwork to draw in the readers. Our client was extremely happy with the design, going on to commission us to design posters, business cards, bookmarks and programmes for each successive year.

“When Cuckfield Book Festival was launched three years ago, we knew we wanted a programme that looked elegant, clear, colourful and appealing. Action were so helpful from the start and working with them has been a delight – they are so responsive, quick to interpret our ideas, problem solve and offer their own ideas so that our programmes are now instantly recognisable for their excellent design and content.”
