I will be going to London for the weekend to collect some research for my COP project and for brief 04. I will be attending a talk on monday the fourth at the TFL headquarters by Oliver Green. I think this talk addresses really important areas of research for my possible question and so hopefully it will be really helpful in pushing my project forward.
talk: frank pick's london
Date: Monday 4 November 2013
Time: 18.30-20.00
Time: 18.30-20.00
Frank Pick changed the face of London in the twentieth century through innovative design.. Described by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘the greatest patron of the arts whom this century has produced in England’, he was managing director of the Underground in the 1920s and the first chief executive of London Transport from 1933-40. Pick’s passion was for good applied design in everything from posters and graphics to station architecture, from bus engineering to tube trains, giving London the best public transport system in the world.
Oliver Green is London Transport Museum’s former Head Curator and now its Research Fellow. In this talk he will be introducing his new book Frank Pick’s London: art, design and the modern city, published by the Victoria & Albert Museum in association with London Transport Museum. The book will be available at the event for purchase and signing.

I thought it would be good to get some visual research from the Childhood Museum and some ideas for rebranding by looking at existing branding and exhibition posters. This will hopefully direct my design ideas further.
