Design Museum

I visited the Design Museum in it's new location in London back in January. The building is a piece of architecture itself, it has a very modern feel to it. We looked around the free exhibition at the top of the building, Designer Maker User, which included the London Underground Map and the design history of road signs. These were major steps in wayfinding communications in England and a cross the world. It was good to see how the designs progressed and became what they are today.  

We also went to Fear and Love, displayed from the 24th November - 23rd April. This exhibition was about way more than graphic design, but design in general in all forms. There were robots that could react to your movement, videos about apps and how they have change our world and installations about how we use materials such as wool. It was an eye opener and nice to look at a different aspect of design.
