Nick Bell Design

David joined Nick Bell Design in November 2007. Since then he has lead the graphic design for Great North Museum project, the new permanent gallery for the British Postal Museum & Archive and is now creative design manager, responsible for museum, exhibition wayfinding and environmental design projects.

The Great North Museum project was a £26million redevelopment of the Hancock Museum in Newcastle upon Tyne. It opened in May 2009 after two years of graphic design input – part of six years design overall. The project was in collaboration with museum design consultants Casson Mann, Terry Farrell Architects – who are reconditioning the existing building as well as designing a new extension – and with the contractors BAF graphics and Beck Interiors. The Great North Museum created ten new gallery spaces, drawing together existing collections from the Hancock Museum, Shefton Collection, Museum of Antiquities and the Hatton Gallery. Key exhibits include a scale model of the entire length of Hadrian's Wall, a 'wall of animals' which will also include live animals, and investigative wildlife hides exploring the nature of Northumbria.

In addition to the exhibition graphic design, Nick Bell Design were awarded the contract to carry out a wayfinding analysis and to design the signage for the Great North Museum. David design managed these elements through to installation and completion in time for opening in May 2009.

At Nick Bell Design David has been involved in numerous projects, including final design and installation of the Harmsworth Wall at the Churchill Museum (January 2008), design implementation of signage and environmental graphics at the Stanislavsky Factory in Moscow – an architectural redevelopement project by Russian developers Horus – and the design for a new gallery for the British Postal Museum & Archive (due for completetion autumn 2009).
