Lucian Freud was not averse to a punt on the gee-gees (to say the least) so it’s interesting to see him filling his sketchbook pages with bets in the exhibition that’s now on at the @royalacademyarts #lucianfreud #exhibition #london #gallery #painting #portrait #art

‘Lend Me A Quid’ - ‘TV’s most recent sitcom since “Where Do I Stick It?”’. Another new addition to the Oddments section of the Standard Designs website. I love TV studios (mostly because of the corridors - working in them is… well it’s work, isn’t it) and so at one point I started to make a series of posters for fictional TV shows from various eras that might have been stuck up to direct audience members towards the studio where the recording was to take place. Maybe I’ll pick it up again at some point. But for now this was the first one and … you can imagine who I was basing Ronald Stentorian and Jimmy Cockney on. #tv #sitcom #britishtv #comedy #poster #tvstudio #studiotour #tvrecording #poster #print #publicity #directions #bbc #tvc #70stv #itv #tvstudio #art #typography #illustration

These @leonrestaurants labels are kinda basic but there’s something about them I like… maybe it’s the slightly kitsch retro-ness. They do feel a bit like they should be on plastic tablecloths. #leon #condiments #kitchen #sauce #eating #packaging #packagingdesign #design #graphicdesign #restaurant #retro #kitsch #70s

A new addition to the Unpublished Prints section of the studio wall. During the 1950s I pitched this to the government as part of a healthy eating campaign but it was rejected because (a) it wasn’t condescending enough and (b) it didn’t mention the benefits of lard. #lardwitheverything #healthyeating #peas #vegetables #poster #standarddesigns #unpublished #print #printmaking #advertising #official #1950s #typography #grotesque #italic #design #graphicdesign #posterdesign
