I have been watching the excitement build for Vintage at the Southbank Centre, which kicks off tomorrow for 3 days of what looks like fantastic fun. I am a self-confessed Festival of Britain nut, so to have the event at the Southbank Centre 60 years after the ground-breaking festival took place there is absolute genius.
Once again Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway have inspired and enthused businesses, musicians, artists and designers to make this fantastic event a reality. I only wish I could be there, but, as always, we have several magazines to complete! I am with you in spirit!
I thought I should post some pics of two Festival of Britain magazines from my collection. Their design inspired me – especially the infographics – and I love the adverts, almost all are illustrated beautifully, and give a glimpse into an era when there was real hope for the future. Apparently they even delivered on time and in budget… ah, those were the days.
