The power is on - so back off, a poster from the East London line’s late 1990s rebuilding at London Transport Museum’s Pick Mix site (thanks, Chris)

Soviet poster, 1931 (text: “We Are Building a Fleet of Airships in the Name of Lenin”) from The Dead Dream of the Dirigible by Megan Garber in The Atlantic.

Richard Rogers Screenprints by Simon Armstrong for the Design Museum.

A poster for Cypher, a somewhat silly but definitely enjoyable techno-thriller type thing from 2002.

(I rewatched this last night while pottering with Photoshop, and there are some nice touches in it. I also decided to create a movieinframes four-frame version of it, which is more about the protagonist’s relationships with women in the film than the other direction I could have gone, focussing on the whizz-bang gadgets. Maybe I’ll do another take later.)

Tea Drives Away The Droops:

Poster designed for an unidentified client. A primarily yellow, blue and red design, incorporating a black and white photograph of the singer Gracie Fields drinking a cup of tea and a blue and white graphic of an anthropomorphised teapot holding a top hat. Signed and dated ‘E. McKnight Kauffer 36’

I have a tea-towel based on this design, and Mr T. Pott always makes me happy.

(Oddly the store doesn’t link to an image, but Google Images found it anyway, on the V&A’s own server. Websites are odd sometimes.)
