Luck and Steele Design - the partners

Luck and Steele Design, formed in 1991, is a small practice specialising in graphic design for museums and heritage organisations. Work undertaken includes design and artwork for interior and exterior display panels, leaflets, posters, booklets, educational resource packs, illustrations, and design for small exhibitions. We can also design simple but effective websites and supply HTML files. We have also provided design support for other consultants specialising in museum and exhibition design.

We are independent designers and do not print or manufacture panels and displays ourselves. You can appoint us to supervise production for you or choose to manage the production of your project yourself.

Our approach is to develop designs that are appropriate by listening to our clients and understanding their requirements. We use shape, colour and context to interpret and evoke the period, character and significance of exhibits and subject matter.

The partners are Nigel Luck and Penny Steele.
