Design Chapel resident Pete Jarvis was commissioned to create illustrations for a book celebrating the tercentenary of the founding of Sir John Cass’s Foundation Primary School in 1710 and the three hundredth and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the founder in 1661. The Foundation’s remit has been to support the young disadvantaged living in London through education.

The book is called ‘For the poor children of London’, a brief  life and history of Sir John Cass and Sir John Cass’s Foundation. Pete was commissioned to illustrate the buildings. These were done from photographs in watercolour to show the buildings in their best light and in a style that reflects the historical period and in keeping with the design of the book.

Illustration shows St. Botolph-without-Aldgate Church. See further watercolours in illustration.

CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) of proposed architectural development in Weymouth, Dorset by ‘Design Chapel’ tenant Mike Johnson of Rockit Design. Created from architectural plans and elevations – this initial street scene view will be reproduced at approx 6×15ft wide to go on the hoardings across the front of the site… should create an excellent first impression, raising local awareness and generating early interest.
