About
Scott Joseph Studio is a small scale design studio, with a range of experience in culturally orientated commissions in the fields of design and creative direction, web design and publishing, and in close collaboration with artists, galleries, museums and social organisations, as well as independent makers and practitioners from various fields.
Central to the studio approach are practice based visual design principles which place emphasis on content as a premise for the creation of form, while utilising the inherent conditions and contexts of a brief or assignment, alongside the dialogue as part of a commission, to locate renewed ways of developing bespoke representations of a process and its relative materials.
The studio has publications it's designed held in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and has been profiled in AIGA magazine, NYC, US and IDEA magazine, Tokyo, JP.
In addition, Joseph has represented the UK at the International Biennale for Graphic Design in Brno, CZ, in both 2012 and 2016, and was a designer in residence in 2017 at Rogaland Kunstsenter, Stavanger, NO.
Scott Joseph has also held posts as Lecturer in Graphic Design and Digital Design and Communication at Foundation, Undergraduate and Post Graduate level, on a fractional and full time basis, including at:
Gerrit Rietveld Academy, NL (2012); University for the Creative Arts, UK (2014); University of East London, UK (2015); ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, Arnhem, NL (2016); Arts University Bournemouth, UK (2017); Bucks New University, UK (2018), and University of Greenwich, UK (2019–20), in various capacities as: Senior Lecturer, Lecturer, Associate Lecturer, and Visiting and Guest Tutor.

Language Without Place
Images depicting both vernacular and applied examples of typography found within the built environment act as a primary outline to question the purpose of information and its visualisation within economic and socially democratic and capitalist systems, challenging the role of societal meritocracy and class structure, prompting thought toward non-canonical forms of writing.
"In such short lines are the movement of time, populous and even the weather, in which exist similar, if not exacting traits of occurrence. The same might be said of every segregated anachronistic letter, of every typographic arrangement primarily, but also of the thought and writing of every configuration of every piece of communication, be it typed or written, by every person in the world throughout history."
N.B. This series was featured in Idea magazine, Tokyo, Japan, the international journal for graphic arts and typography, in the format of four visual and intertextual articles, within a two year calendar of the journals cycle, spanning c. 10,000 words, in conjunction to 90+ full colour offset printed original photographs.
Idea magazine, No. 376–379. Tokyo, JP, 2016 — 2018.
