Litmus Paper at Cheltenham Festivals

In collaboration with the British Library

Litmus Paper went down a storm!’ – Ashley Kent, Cheltenham Science Festival Manager

DesignScience is working with Cheltenham Festivals to produce Litmus Paper – a series of newspapers published to coincide with each of the Festivals: Jazz, Science, Music and Literature.

Cheltenham Literature Festival 2012
Dedicated to World of Surgery run by Professor Roger Kneebone of Imperial College London, this issue explores surgery through the eyes of poets, dancers, storytellers, expert craftsmen and surgeons themselves.

Cheltenham Science Festival 2012
Litmus Paper was published daily for five consecutive days at this year’s The Times Cheltenham Science Festival. The editions were designed and edited by DesignScience in collaboration with and generously supported by the British Library. Printed overnight, they feature interviews, news and write-ups of each day’s events alongside a series of specially commissioned articles.
