Loose Collective is an independent design studio based in Manchester, UK with over 26 years of industry experience. We are also Senior Lecturers on the BA (Hons) Graphic Design degree at Manchester School of Art/Manchester Metropolitan University. We’ve even won awards for our teaching.

We work with clients, both large and small, who are willing to think a little bit harder. We believe that great design and effective communication should always be built upon good ideas and not by succumbing to visual trends.
—
We prefer not to follow the herd. Get in touch if you’d like to work on something together...
