Where is Graphic Design? Tachelles

These are a few photographs that I took on a trip to Berlin, at the famous Tachelles artists' swat. The walls are coated floor to ceiling, including the outsides with the most incredible graphic art and graffiti. The building itself is a crumbling mess having survived the second world war with very little renovation made to it. The graffiti brings it to life and gives the building an anything but derelict appearance.



Where is Graphic Design? Clock Bethnal Green


I love this clock. I know its not the most exciting piece of graphic design, but I just really like the simplicity of the designed and the idea that someone must have been commissioned to design it. They really did work with theme of the location! I just had to take a picture of it!

Where is Graphic Design? Amsterdam

A couple of images of the incredible graffiti that Amsterdam has to hold taken on a recent trip there over christmas to see my uncle. The quality is awful, as unfortunately my camera packed in, but I think these photographs still give a good example. I think the situation of the graffiti is particularly relevant, as it makes far more of an impression on such a dramatic scale. I'm looking forward to going back to take some better quality pictures.
