Studio K

We provide cost-effective design solutions for print and display and specialise in designing exhibition displays for museums and galleries. We specialise in designing for museums and galleries and can provide a complete exhibition and graphic design service, or work with your own team and provide graphics only.

Studio K is a small design company based in West Yorkshire. Very small. In fact it's just me, Imelda Kay. I have over 30 years experience designing for museums and galleries all over the UK. For 18 years I worked at the National Media Museum in Bradford, the last 10 years as Head of design, before taking the plunge and starting up on my own in 2001.

Graphic design strategy and all the artwork for the new displays in this historic building. Studio K developed the graphic strategy for this major new museum and implemented it across six new permanent galleries. Studio K provided artwork services to the National Museums Scotland for two large aircraft hangars near Edinburgh.

Studio K was commissioned by the National Museums Scotland to provide artwork services for the new displays, working closely with the exhibition designers Redman Design. Dozens of object labels were produced along with large format banners and a complex timeline graphic running around three large island plinths.

In 2013, Studio K was commissioned to produce all the graphic artwork for this major museum in Barnsley Town Hall. Since then we have produced lots of updated graphics. The exhibition contained a huge timeline wall with interlocking images, graphics, objects and showcases filling one wall of the gallery. There are several interactive games for children in two separate galleries. Exhibition and graphic design by Redman Design.
