Underscore - Where Ideas Grow On Trees

Designs of the Year Exhibition

5th March 2008

After working extremely hard all week myself, Kristoff and Matt decided to reward ourselves with a cultured evening of innovative design, 3 bottles of red and pizzas all round.

Elected from around the world, Brit Insurance Designs of the Year at the Design Museum presents 100 projects nominated by a group of internationally respected design experts, curators, critics, practitioners and enthusiasts. With seven categories to choose from; architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product and transport it made for an interesting evening. Amongst the interactive section was this clever idea. A wall made up of lots of different screens allowed you to make a short 2 second film of yourself doing whatever you fancied. You could choose which movie yours would replace out of the screens. As you can see (3rd row down in the middle), we managed to make ourselves look like complete loons!

But a good night was had by all, and we’d definitely recommend the exhibition. But maybe not the 3 bottles of red wine afterwards.
