branding + Design

This magazine is special in no small part because branding visionary Esther Clayton, director of ec-design studio, brings our ideas to life.

Extra Teeth is bold graphics, stunning colours and the paper stock of dreams - largely thanks to Esther’s guidance and eye.

Here from the beginning, she is an instrumental member of our team and we're so lucky to be working with her. Based in Portobello, Esther has designed branding for Bross Bagels, Skylark Cafe and Tribe Porty and our favourite seaside book slingers, The Portobello Bookshop.

Esther not only defines the design of the magazine, but works closely with our illustrators to guide them through the process and realise their vision for each issue - and also encourages people, at all times, towards neon.
