Andy Altman from the ‘Why Not Associates’

By Matt French

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:

  1. Next — The Bible of mail order.
  2. Smirnoff Ice posters.
  3. Museum installation ”Kobi in Japan’.
  4. Gordon Young — sandblasted type installation in Morecambe.
  5. Apocalypse poster.
  6. Ad for BBC match of the day.
  7. Canvas logo.
