Andy Alman was talking at the watershed last night organized by the West of England design forum. The Why Nots, now a team of 8, started in 1987 after studying at the RCA. I quite like the philosophy behind the name ‘Why Not’ — ‘We never had a plan so nothing could go wrong’.
Some of the work shown:
- Next — The Bible of mail order.
- Smirnoff Ice posters.
- Museum installation ”Kobi in Japan’.
- Gordon Young — sandblasted type installation in Morecambe.
- Apocalypse poster.
- Ad for BBC match of the day.
- Canvas logo.

Yes, it was a good one. I’ve been told that they’ll be free drinks at the Arnolfini for the xmas talk.
