Make the garden nice, build a pond or something brings together fragments gathered from years of notebooks; instincts, observations, and prompts, forming a loose set of positions that shape how the studio approaches design and art. These sit alongside visual annotations, where recurring images and references work in dialogue with the texts.

The format sits between a zine and a poetry book, drawing from both while not fully aligning with either. The cover uses a grey card akin to the internal cover of a book without its dust jacket, sitting alongside notebooks and folders as reference points for the publication. Inside, thin, almost copier-like paper keeps the publication light and unprecious. Together, these decisions position it between a finished object and a working document.

Set in Dada Grotesk, the typography remains neutral with a slight character, its proportions sitting comfortably within the format, balancing something archival with something more immediate. Page numbers are placed prominently, top and centre, introducing a sense of order against otherwise non-linear content. The sequence suggests progression, but the positions themselves have no fixed order.
