For you to visit the ‘Alan Fletcher: Fifty years of graphic work (and play)’ exhibition at the design museum (final day is February 18th). I went on Saturday as part of my 2007 week on week off exhibition policy (poke brought me lots of gallery memberships for xmas, and therefore, to do their generosity justice said policy has been introduced).

I first became aware of Alan Fletcher through his book the ‘Art of looking Sideways’, but it is only since his death last year that I have begun to fully appreciate his infleunce and stature within design, so I went along in attempt to fill in the many gaps.

I’m glad I did, what a great story, from start to finish, his training, travelling, design philosophy and career development was fascinating. I loved the self promotional work created for his first company, Fletcher Forbes Gill, plus the moving card he produced to announce he was leaving New York and the typographic posters he did for a coffee shop and much much more - I left completely exhausted, partly due to my hangover, but mostly because of the lifetime of sheer skill I had just absorbed. If you can get there in time, go for it!

It’s clubpub tonight, which sees the launch of ‘Gif jockey 2.0′, ‘ A piece of software that seamlessly joins together loads of crap animated gifs’. It’s gonna be real special, the ultimate vj experience some might say.

As the pressure mounts to submit the ultimate animated gif, I timely stumble across the Animated Gif Appreciation Society. Perhaps this will inspire me, or will I just ‘borrow’ one of the showcased gif sequences?
