Margaret Calvert RDI OBE is best known for her groundbreaking work with Jock Kinneir on the design of Britain’s road and motorway signing system introduced in 1965. She was also Head of Graphics at the Royal College of Art in London where she encouraged the rigour to design that she believes in. Still today you'll find her in her North London studio working on her lifelong passion for letterforms. I had the great pleasure of recording this interview with Margaret in 2015 about her life and work. From the RDI Sound Archive. <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
