Design Museum Website

I stumbled across this website which is really interesting. There are exhibitions and talks on throughout the year so worthwhile keeping an eye on it.

If the first years are doing the type brief again the following may be of interest... or in fact for anybody who is interested in type.


17 July – 02 September

The 50 exhibition, in the Design Museum Cafe, imagines the world from the perspective of Helvetica itself, highlighting events and inspirational things it has seen - and been influenced by - during its lifetime from the lunar moon landing to the first British nudist camp. For the exhibition, 50 leading designers and graphic artists from around the world have joined forces with Blanka and Candy to create a visual diary of 50 separate events from the last half century. The exhibition is a birthday party that pays homage to Helvetica’s massive influence on our visual culture.
