PLAYHOUSE




































































































































I've been commissioned by Muf to improve a playhouse frame for a nursery in Stockwell. The outside porthole design transforms the playhouse into a submarine or aircraft. The inside designs show a control centre which will enable children to create new games using the prints which include basic number and alphabet sequences. The designs will be screen-printed onto wooden panels.

GUESS WHERE LONDON?
























I've uploaded this picture to the Flickr group 'Guess Where London?' but it has yet to be guessed...

RYAN TODD

I went to the Duke Press Launch the other night. One of the illustrators featured was Ryan Todd who was selling a beautiful Risograph-printed publication titled 'Another Way' which is full of playful visual quips:



THE BISCUIT FACTORY
























The biscuit Factory in Bermondsey opened in 1866 was the first ever mass producer of biscuits. It was also the birthplace of the Garibaldi (1861), the mighty Bourbon (1910) and in the 30s the controversial Twiglet.

During the 70s it produced 31 million tonnes of biscuits a year! The factory closed in the late 80s, but has recently seen a revamp by AHMM Architects and is now used for exhibition, studio and office space. There's a really great cafe there with lots of celeb snaps with the manager on the walls. (I think there is a recording studio next door.) I was sitting by some american woman I recognised off the telly.

Anway, if you want to read a mouth watering Choco Leibniz biscuit review, The rather excellent Katy Scott has written one here.

PICTURE DISCS
































The Cars' 'Just What I Needed' picture disc is the best picture disc I've come across so far. (There's an added bonus of having my name subtlety written in the design...you might have to squint!)

Just as coloured vinyl was introduced to help buyers differentiate between genres, picture discs were introduced to help boost sales.

Picture discs first appeared in the 1930s, when various materials were experimented with to encourage people to buy more records. Early picture discs had a very poor quality to them as film was placed over a thick paper print and then pressed with the grooves. (Hitler even released a 7" picture disc of this type with one of his speeches on.)

I have recently discovered Hard Format. It's definitely worth viewing if you have a love for music-related design. There are some great Peter Saville art works which I recommend looking at.
Also featured: The Cabaret Voltaire's 'Micro-Phonies' album art work. Here's a link to their song 'Sensoria' on youtube.
