Rydo is a dependable Glasgow-based graphic design consultancy with expertise in branding, visual identity and everything in between.
The practice deals with all aspects of visual communication — from company positioning to copywriting — and brand roll-out across traditional and digital media. Working with Rydo is based on a candid, open, collaborative approach that affords equal appreciation to the pragmatic (the method) and the intuitive (the magic).
Originally established in 2009, the studio produces work driven by an enthusiasm for attractive, conceptually rigorous design that communicates clearly. Creative problem solving lies firmly at the heart of an ethos built on an ambition to provide considered, lasting outcomes.
Director Ryan Thompson believes that meaningful design can be a catalyst for progress and actively contributes to the broader industry and education. He is a former organiser of the events series LongLunch, a member of the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD) — serving as an assessor for its European & North American student assessment schemes — and a lecturer at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee.
Rydo works for — and with — artists & producers, photographers & film makers, designers & illustrators, crafts people & makers, researchers & educators, record labels & musicians, fitness enthusiasts, writers & dreamers, programmers & engineers, scientists & technologists, visionaries, mavericks and rogues.
