The Jones Boys are two designers from Liverpool, twins named Philip & Andrew. They class themselves as a “two man enterprise from birth”. Their design process involves taking first hand reference and photographic records. They then strip back the detail, leaving strong shapes and shadows. They use vintage posters to help inspire their use of colour on their unique prints. One can see that the Jones Boys have taken a large inspiration from the art deco period within the North West of England.
About The Liverpool Philharmonic
The Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is the only orchestra in the UK that has its own hall. Their home is an art deco concert hall, built in the 1930’s. The Liverpool Philharmonic is situated on Hope Street, in Liverpool’s Georgian quarter, a road that links the city’s two cathedrals. In 1849 the original Liverpool Philharmonic was built however it was ruined by a gigantic fire in 1933, where 10,000 people lined the neighbouring streets to watch the fate of the hall. It was Herbert J Rowse who was commissioned to design the new Liverpool Philharmonic as we know it today.
