<p>The first Pop Up festival of stories kicks off this weekend in London. The Guardian are supporting the event, and yesterday published <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/childrens-books-site/2011/jul/06/pop-up-festival-london">this article</a> about it. We've seen a three fold increase in traffic since!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Olympic posters</title><id>http://www.stephenwalker.co.uk/ideas/olympic-posters.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.stephenwalker.co.uk/ideas/olympic-posters.html"/><author><name>Stephen Walker</name></author><published>2011-06-22T09:10:35Z</published><updated>2011-06-22T09:10:35Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p>I saw this <a class="offsite-link-inline" title="Guardian Olympic Poster Collection" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2011/jun/21/olympics-2012" target="_blank">gallery of olympic posters on the Guardian</a>, and it struck me that the designs from about 1960 - 1988 were mostly assembled by hand, but have no immediate clues to that effect (at least from a general point of view); lots of strong flat shapes, great bold designs.</p>
<p>Conversly, from 1992 - 2008 which it's fairly safe to say are digitally assembled, all of the designs have hand drawn elements.</p>
<p>This made me wonder whether that trend will continue in the coming 2012 games. Should we expect another 'hand drawn' solution? Among the <a class="offsite-link-inline" title="Designers shortlisted for 2012 poster designs" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/jun/21/top-british-artists-design-olympics-posters" target="_blank">artists in the running for the designs</a> is Bridget Riley - I really hope she wins and draws a line underneath the 'hand drawn but not hand drawn' trend.</p>
