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!

I'm Raving

Well...im raving about this video! Directed by Daniel Wolfe for the track Blind Faith by Chase & Status, this video portrays the rave scene towards the end of the 80's in almost documentary-style detail. I am a big fan of british film, particularly set in this decade by directors such as Danny Boyle, Nick Love and Shane Meadows.

Picture Post

After a trip to a charity shop in North Camp I came home with this - Picture Post 1953 the Coronation edition. It is a fascinating read and I was particularly drawn to the old adverts...

Record artwork

My brother purchased some decks at the weekend and was given some 90s house records with it, i quite liked some of the cover art and prompted me to dig out some of my dads old records when we were sorting out for a carboot sale... have to say the old stuff was more impressive, particularly the more abstract stuff (before the Photoshop days!) and i really liked the book inside the Hawkwind cover.
