100 THINGS RESEARCH//OUGD405 (quick design boards-visuals)

My chosen topic mainly focuses on the style and design aspect rather than facts, figures, statistics, I've been collecting more of a visual idea of  where i'm heading with this project.  My first design board was just a collection of images i'd found of old sixties food packaging designed for Sainsbury's.  One of my ideas is to re design modern day brands and packaging to a sixties style design.  Basic, retro looking packages, with appropriate colour, imagery and typeface.

This design board displays record sleeves designed in the sixties, whether I choose to look at modern day albums and transform them into sixties style or just use a record sleeve (an appropriate prop of the sixties) as a format for displaying something else, facts about sixties music, music culture or just sixties culture in general.

 This design sheet shows various book covers from the sixties, again my idea, to take modern day book covers and re design them, or to create pages of a book that is a basic 'style guide' to the sixties, possible  topics to cover: music, fashion, politics, the media, youth, film etc.

Lastly, film posters were interesting to look at from this period, iconic figures came out of this decade, especially in the music industry.  Modern day festival posters transformed somehow, more development needed.

Another nice visual to take from this decade are film posters, a look into the iconic film stars of the time, the most popular films and general advertisements and distribution of the film industry.  Interesting designs, how could an idea develop further from these visuals?
