Yes design

After learning about the new penguin books I wanted to research more into the designers who had produced the covers.

Yes design (http://www.yesstudio.co.uk) have a number of interesting and unique pieces of work to their name. I would definitely recommend a look at the website.

The three pieces of work below have been included as I feel they all have good and clever qualities to them. For example, I think the way in which 'next day delivery' has been linked to the album title (catalogue) and I am drawn to the boxes they have created from this cover image.
I included the piece below as I found the font and colour choice interesting and I believe it works with the nature of the band and music.

I then included this piece below simply because I liked it! I think the colour shading works well to catch your attention. I like how the image is not the first thing you see, but infact the colour.
check out the webiste!

Olympic_Posters

The V&A Museum of Childhood in London will host an exhibition of Olympic Games posters spanning from 1900 to the present day. More than 100 posters will be on display, including work by David Hockney and Andy Warhol. The exhibition will be at the V&A Museum of Childhood from 17 May 2008 until 7 September 2008. It will then tour to museums and galleries in the UK and internationally as part of the build up to the London 2012 Olympics. Posters are an important means of communication for the Olympic Games and shape expectations of the Games to come. The exhibition explores how the posters were used to convey messages to an international audience about the look and feel of individual Games through eye-catching and memorable imagery.
