Introduction into module and beginnings of research.

The first lesson was really good, the power point gave us an idea as to how this module relates to marketing and what is going to be asked from us.  As I have been asked to present a power point about the 1960's in a group next week, I have began some research beginning with the library to get a grasp on the era.

Below is some of the images I collected to get a general feel of the era from a book called sixties design by Philippe Garner:

Op art carpet designed by Antonio Boggeri

Hair style by Vidal Sassoon

Braun "Audio 1" record player, designed by Dieter Rams 

Astronaut Edwin A. Aldrin on the Apollo 11 mission 

Space-age fashion from Andre Courreges 

"A is for Apple", poster designed by The Fool 

I then had a look at the initial shapes of the clothes in a book by John Peacock to get an idea how they evolved throughout the era:

1960 Evening Wear

Day Wear 1961

Day Wear 1963

1966 Evening Wear 

Sports and Leisure Wear 1969

I then decided to go in to a vintage store to get an idea for fucher resources, and managed to take some photographs of some of the items they have on offer. I will definitely visit this shop again and others like it for primary research. I plan to attempt to take photographs of 1960's items next week.
