Transparent compensation, always.

Matt Isherwood established Cotswold Poster Co in 2019 upon returning to his native region. With a background in graphic design from Falmouth and professional experience as a web designer in London, he creates digital illustrations that capture the essence of local towns and rural landscapes. His practice is rooted in the specific geography of his home, documenting the unique character of the area through a modern lens. His work draws on the aesthetic of mid-20th-century railway posters to document over 130 regional locations. Committed to local conservation, the studio utilizes recycled materials for its production and contributes two percent of its income to the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wildlife Trusts. This focus on regional heritage has led to features at the Cotswold Motor Museum and on Channel 4.
