Design studies ยท Round 1
Richard Campbell
Five directions for richardcampbell.uk. Each opens in a new tab. Pick the elements you like from each; nothing here is final.
- Design A
Still
Silence. One sentence. A blush field. The page breathes.
One long page on a warm field. One thought per screen, fog behind the first sentence, the four steps on a blush block.
Open design - Design B
Note
Wit. Lined paper, highlighter, a tilted note. It feels like writing to someone.
A letter from Rich on ruled paper, with margin notes in his own words, a highlighter on the lines that matter, and index cards for the practical bit.
Open design - Design C
Ground
Authority without coldness. Cream, a deep colour, a huge serif, a monogram.
A slate header band, one enormous serif line, editorial label-and-text rows, a fees table and an RC monogram. A practice with a name.
Open design - Design D
Air
Silence again, but cool and bare. The only design that opens on no picture at all.
One centred column on a pale blue-grey field. The first sentence alone on the opening screen, then one thought at a time. Nothing is boxed; form fields are hairlines.
Open design - Design E
Canopy
A photograph first. Slate bands top and bottom, a huge serif over the trees.
The lane into the woods fills the first screen with one line across it, then the page settles onto solid ground: a document-like column, numbered steps and a slate footer.

While you look
- These are prototypes. The contact form does not send and booking takes no payment.
- Grey dashed boxes marked "Placeholder text" stand in for copy that has not been written yet: biography, training, approach, privacy policy.
- The 30-second video is not recorded yet; its script is shown in its place.
- The photo is the current one and will be replaced.
