Wim Crouwel

This weekend I finally had a chance to visit the Design Museum for the Wim Crouwel retrospective - A Graphic Odyssey, now in it's last week. The exhibition captures key moments in his career including the identity for the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam along with his iconic poster, print, typography and exhibition designs. Crouwel's striking designs capture the essence of the emerging computer age of the 60's, but what I found most amazing was how his work hardly feels dated at all.

COCA-COLA

To celebrate Coca-Cola's 125th anniversary, this display has been put on outside of London's Design museum, showcasing the history of its visual identity. The glass tank features the differently shaped bottles from over the years along with some other treats from the Coke archives. I was particularly drawn to the design manuals and the book with photographs of the making of the Coca-Cola neon sign, which was put up in Piccadilly Circus - what i'd do to have a flick through those!
