Road signs
They started designing when margaret was a student at Chelsea College of art and jock was a part time teacher. Jock asked Margaret if she would help him, and together they invented the road signs that we use today.
Margaret Calvert was significantly influenced by her education at the Chelsea School of Art, where she developed her design skills and aesthetic sensibilities. Her work in collaboration with designer Jock Kinneir on the UK's road signage system was shaped by a desire for clarity and functionality, reflecting her commitment to effective communication through design. Additionally, the broader context of post-war Britain, which prioritized modernity and efficiency, played a crucial role in shaping her innovative approach to graphic design.
