For issue 16 the theme was 'Posh Goth' so Matt created a hybrid of a gothic and a serif font which was used throughout the issue. Working with photographer Graeme Montgomery, Matt entwined flowers through the LOVE logo to make a colourful posh goth tombstone effect and this logo was then animated for the website with the flowers growing to suffocate the letters. Illustrators Estella Boersma and Matty Bovan were commissioned to create the fun, gothic graphic elements. Willy Vanderperre shot the front covers of Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie and the fashion editor was Katie Grand.

For issue 15 Matt created a colourful, hand drawn logo. The issue was filled with bright coloured, doodle-y graphics. Willy Vanderperre shot the front cover and the fashion editor was Panos Yiapanis.

For issue 14 Matt created a colourful, glitchy logo inspired by the intricate patterns of that season's fashion collections with similar patterned graphics throughout the issue. David Sims shot 6 of the 7 front covers (Kate Moss, Florence Welch, C-3PO, Alicia Vikander, Cher, and Gisele) and Willy Vanderperre shot the 7th (Poppy Delevingne).

For issue 13 Matt wanted to keep the typography and graphics beautifully simple in order to showcase the exceptionally strong photography in the extensive Steven Klein and David Sims stories featured.

For issue 12 the inspiration was mystical Japanese art via artist Chiho Aoshima. Random hand drawn outlines were added to a chunky handwritten font to create a vibrant, colourful issue. David Sims shot the covers of Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Christy Turlington, Amy Adams and Adriana Lima.

23 has worked with triyoga since 2007, taking care of all aspects of its creative direction, branding and design.

We created a beautifully simple, modular system to promote triyoga's many events from A1 poster and A5 flyer, to email out and homepage thumbnail. We have also created triyoga products, designed their 2010 – 2015 website, designed their email marketing, and helped them with the look and feel of their four London centres, creating signage and graphics and giving advice to keep them on-brand as they grow.

'We have been lucky to have worked with Matt and Emma for over 8 years, and among the many things we love is that they are very clear with their views and vision for us. They are passionate about us and everyone they choose to work for and this comes through in the quality and attention to detail that is apparent in everything they do.'

For issue 11, Matt commissioned photographer Graeme Montgomery to photograph drips of paint to be used on the logo and as graphics throughout the magazine. The cover, featuring Miley Cyrus shot by David Sims, was shortlisted for 'Best magazine cover of the year' in the International Magazine awards.

The inspiration for Issue 10, Matt's first as creative director, was Minnie Mouse with a red and white dotty logo and black dots over each of the covers. Matt decided the issue should have a sticker on the front cover and he expanded on this idea within the magazine, placing sticker graphics playfully throughout. 

'It's been a pleasure to welcome Matt Roach to the LOVE team. I first worked with Matt in the nineties on Dazed & Confused. He's brought new energy to the graphics and has been really good fun to have in the office. From the dots on the cover to the dog and panda icons spotted throughout the issue, he's brought more humour and lightness to the magazine.'

Branding, packaging design, logo, website (until September 2015), digital marketing. 

23 have worked with Nadia since 2009 at the very beginning of her idea to create a range of organic well-being products. We have designed and developed each one of these products with her, creating various candles, vests, t-shirts, notebooks, bags and a perfume.

'Every time I sit down with Emma and Matt at 23 I leave the meeting inspired and excited. Without them my line of candles and lifestyle accessories would not exist – I had an idea, I have many of them, but they never necessarily come to fruition. We sat down and within a few weeks the process started. They listen to what I want, they recognise who I am and their attention to detail blows me away.'

They fuse forward thinking concepts with a wealth of impressive brand experience, formulating an enduring design upon which we were given the flexibility to express our aesthetic and evolve. The sense you have as their client is one of reassurance and being guided through the process of design by a team with an unparalleled level of care and appreciation for each brand's particular story. Working with 23 doesn't feel like 'work'. Their passion and humour are contagious.'
