Election horror graphics
What is it about election campaigns that brings out the very worst design and advertising? Its as if UK politics has had some kind of design and good taste bypass, particularly when you compare the current crop of clip-art party logos and appalling billboards to the Obama campaign in the US.
The TV coverage often appears almost satirical (Peter Kay’s Britains Got the Pop Factor meets Brass Eye). And just as I thought it couldn’t get any worse, this assortment of horror shows fell through the letterbox. Some of them look like pages from Viz magazine – absolutely unbelievable.
If anyone can beat the Lib-Dem crime scene flyer above please shout…

Nursing Home LPs
Just made a reccy visit to a derelict nursing home in north London that will be used as the location for the ‘Last Tango in Croydon’ film being shot this weekend. The place is largely in ruin through vandals and water seepage, but I stumbled across a box of saturated LPs amongst the broken glass, nappies and bits of plasterboard. Interesting, if poignant, little insight into the musical pleasures enjoyed by the last residents who lived there.
