Designer Penny chose two of her favourite pieces in 2025 for Pollocks Toyshop since she’s designed every one of their new Paper Theatres. One was the rather eccentric 'Dancing Marquess' with illustrations from Lukas Palumbo, the other 'Tableaux', a collaboration with New York illustrator Tug Rice.

Risograph Printer Sam chose the Seasonal β€˜Fruit and Vegetable Guide’ from Studio Forest for his Twelve days of Calverts. It’s a beautifully illustrated visual guide of what to eat throughout the year, so that you are eating seasonally and sustainably, with each season in different Riso colours.

For his Twelve days, press minder Neil chose a zine by fellow Arsenal fan Dan Evans, entitled β€œSometimes Maybe Good”. The round cut corners are a nod to the 90’s football trading cards that inspired it, the content celebrating some of the most bizarre managerial appointments in football history.

Joantoni, Calverts’ production co-ordinator extraordinaire, chose the work we did for β€œThe Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K Le Guin” for his favourite job of the year, and more specifically the poster to accompany the exhibition on display at the Architectural Association school in London.

For his Twelve days, Arthur chose a personal project. Randomly found on Oasis' instagram, Arthur says β€œIt’s a picture of my friend’s son, taken by an unknown photographer at Wembley Stadium. He’s a big Oasis fan and I think this image captures his love of the band perfectly.”

For his fave job of the year, Calverts repro master Jason chose the Athlyn 2026 calendar, designed by SM Studio, to celebrate and promote the Floral design service. The arrangements were all shot on film and every page is perforated so can be removed as a print or to make you own custom book.
