Smith & Lewarne portfolio website
Smith & Lewarne is a collaborative graphic design and illustration practice based in the southwest of the UK with studios in Bristol and Plymouth. The practice was founded by Jono Lewarne (City Edition Studio) and Stephen Smith (Neasden Control Centre).
The design of the duo’s portfolio website is as colorful as the work it presents. Generous space between images and text prevents work and presentation from merging and overlapping.
The typography combines two contrasting fonts. In headlines, Shrill (Adrien Midzic) turns the dial to 11, while the low-contrast Mint Book (Sebastian Sanfilippo) provides balance in descriptions, subheaders and the menu. It is used in its Bold and Book styles, with occasional faux italics, as they were not yet available. Mint Book recently graduated from Future Fonts, with italics included. To differentiate from the portfolio, body copy text on the About pages is set with Newsreader from Production Type.
