1. When we had a seminar on Russian Revolution i found i really like the style of graphics and the subliminal messages within the use of geometric shapes and lines. El lissitzky and Rodchenko are two particular examples:
2. 'Information is Beautiful' David McCandless, 2009
From one of the CoP sessions with Jo i found this book on inforgraphics which i loved
3. Cath Kidston
Kidston opened her first shop in London's Holland Park in 1993, selling hand-embroidered tea-towels and brightly renovated furniture, and later described it as a "glorified junk shop". 2010, the company was valued at £75 million.
I found this interesting because of how much she had built up the company.
4. Ways of Seeing by John Berger
This documentary was really interesting as i like learning things about manipulation and advertising
5. Jason Munn

I love his designs and simplistic style
6. History of Type Lecture
GILLS SANS
In the lecture there was a slide with the same style as the penguin books to see if we recognised it because of its use of font. I fell in love with this image from then on
7. When researching for my essay about advertising i came across DeBeers which i also had looked at for my 'how to..' brief. It fascinated me how an ad campaign has changed society so much int believing something is a tradition almost.
Year: 1948
Agency: N.W. Ayer & Son
An advertising campaign can last forever as well, it seems. Or at least 63 years and going strong.
As the De Beers website explains, "In 1947 a young copywriter called Frances Gerety was working with De Beers and was given a brief to compose a line that encompassed and expressed the physical attributes and legends surrounding the diamond. The understanding is that she worked late into the night on the challenging brief and, about to admit defeat, she then scribbled the sentence which would later be voted as the most iconic advertising slogan of the twentieth century—A Diamond Is Forever. Books and films of cult status have been named after this tagline, and a song featuring the phrase has been recorded numerous times by some of the world’s most popular artists."
