Design Museum Visit

Yesterday i visited the design museum in London to get a sense of the audience for the poster and postcard that we are designing. It was a shame that most of the museum was closed to the public as they are installing a new exhibition but it was useful to see the space available, the people at the museum and the shop had lots of inspiration.

It has given me more direction with my concepts for the design..the rest of this week will be spent developing my final designs. I want to progress more than one idea.

I got a really good book called the atlas of contemporary graphic designers which has been really good to quickly see who i can research.

Also, i saw a artist creating elegant cards (www.rodgerlaborde.com)using a stencil as the face of the card. This gave me the idea of using a stencil for my postcard - the idea of 'take away d-i-y' typography.
