I really enjoyed looking round the Design Museum and have photographed some of the work that particularly interested me.
Even the colour coded wall labels looked good!
These Big Brother Logo Designs by Daniel Eatock immediately caught my eye and it was interesting to see them all together to see how they work in a sequence, but each adaptation still has a fresh look. It was nominated by Quentin Newark who said:
"There is no other graphic identity as brave and exploratory...an elegant, thoughtful emblem for the mainstream...It always has a fresh appearance, a new minting, whilst being recognisably the same symbol."
Designed by street artist Shepard Fairey. I really like this propaganda poster style that was designed to raise money for Obama's Presidential Campaign. It was based on David Turnley's photograph.
This 'Statistical representation of economic situation' was designed by The Guardian design team. I just really like the innovative approach to making statistics look more desirable and interesting. It's a simple layout that avoids confusion and the bright colours draw in the reader of the paper, so they can understand the UK's economy without having to read pages of boring text.
Letman's typographic designs have been described as colourful craft, and after seeing his work in the February issue of Creative Review, his designs are a lot more individual and visually striking in the museum. He has a distinctive layout throughout his designs but each one is very experimental and different.
All the Time in the World
"Commissioned by the curators at Artwise, for Heathrows Terminal 5, the design trio Troika have created a 22 metre long electroluminescent wall. Rather than showing the different time zones of the capital cities, this piece of communication extends the conventional idea of a world clock, linking real-time to places with exciting and romantic associations...The animated letters and numbers that appear on the screen can be shown in up to 5 different fonts."
"Function and fantasy in one, ...a decent description of what good design should be all about."Patrick Burgoyne
