'Design: Giving Voice To The Private Brand'
From the omnipresent national private brand to the humble corner store, the power of design elevates product, giving it a unique and powerful force in the marketplace. Effective design is inherently about truth. This is a story of 25 years of discovery and of the power of design through the pursuit of brand integrity. Harry Pearce was born in 1960 and studied at Canterbury College of Art. He co-founded Lippa Pearce Design in 1990. Harry's work touches many disciplines, from spatial design and identity to print and packaging. His clients range from Phaidon Publishing, Williams F1 and Kangol to Shakespeare's Globe, Saks Fifth Avenue, the Science Museum and Boots, for whom Harry has created designs for over 23 years. Some of his major corporate identity work includes Halfords and The Co-operative. Harry is dedicated to supporting human rights. Over the last 15 years he has created all the design material for Witness in New York City, founded by the musician and activist Peter Gabriel. He also sits on the advisory board. Harry has won many national and international design awards including two D&AD Silvers. He was one of a few graphic designers chosen to exhibit in a show of excellence in New York to celebrate British design. His work was exhibited at the 50th anniversary exhibition of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) Paris, of which he is also a member. He is a member of the Royal Mail's Stamp Advisory Committee. He regularly speaks at major international design conferences across the globe, including AGIdeas in Australia, Design Indaba, South Africa, Semi Permanent, New Zealand and Design Yatra, India. Speaking engagements have also taken him to New York and Chicago, as well as colleges, Museums and the Typographic Circle in the UK. In 2006 he joined the London office of the groundbreaking multi-disciplinary design firm Pentagram as Partner.
