Olly Moss' Mad Men Poster
'You know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It’s freedom from fear. It’s a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is OK. You are OK.' Don Draper
Another stroke of graphic genius from Olly Moss. Check out more of his work at www.ollymoss.com

Metropolis Reconstructed
Broadway Cinema - Friday 10th- - 23rd September
www.broadway.org.uk/film_programme.php#metropolis
If you haven't yet seen Fritz Lang's masterpiece of film making, then shame on you. Keep an eye out for the epically restored version at local cinemas. Produced in 1927, the signature dystopic science fiction tale tells a story of an exploited workforce who rebel after being targeted by their masters in a violent act of oppression. It may feel like a plodding effort of silenct cinema, but the incredible special effects helped define everything familiar in modern film. Genius, prophetic and totally compelling.

Design With Intent
Robert Fabricant discusses the sea change in the way designers engage with the world. Instead of aspiring to influence user behavior from a distance, designers increasingly want the products they design to have more immediate impact through direct social engagement.

Stunning work from the designer behind a number of familiar brands and album covers, Luke Insect. Some wonderful slick and grungy products for the likes of The Prodigy, Levis and the Free Range brochure (above).

Welcome FdA Year One
Hello all,
I’d like to welcome you to Year One of the FdA Design course and hope you have had a decent summer, despite the rubbish weather.
We’ve decided to send you a summer project to keep you company and hopefully give you a little something to discuss during induction week. I would also like to introduce you to the official Blogspot we have set up for you – www.fdodesign.blogspot.com. We would like to encourage you to use this area of the tinterweb throughout the year. For now, it is the perfect place to introduce yourselves and hopefully help each other out with the project. Perhaps you’ll share ideas, research, or even some of the final pieces.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer and I look forward to meeting you all in September.
