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.)

thiscitycalledearth:

by Julien Simshauser, location unknown.

The location is Shoreditch, London. I think it’s under one of the bridges that used to carry the old Broad Street to Dalston railway, or one that carries its successor, the East London Line. The artwork/poster is by Robert Montgomery, and there’s a good piece about his work and reactions to it in The City Is Wilder and Kinder Than You Think at the Morning News.

As seen on the Oscar Nominees page, for Best Animated Feature Film. Spot the difference (or rather, try to).

Compare and contrast. (I hadn’t realised that this asinine, vapid nonsense was the “manifesto” of a shop that sells lifestyle goods, designed with a conscience. Ugh.)

Three NASA posters from the 1980s, Going To Work In Space, from Danne and Blackburn at the AIGA Design Archives.

Well, that’s a surprise. A photo of mine from Flickr has over 400 notes.

Of course, it’s only driven a dozen or so visitors back to the photo’s page (which actually contains a somewhat useful description), and it’s uncredited, but ho hum.
