Hi,
Im doing reseach for my dissertation, and i am currently trying to find examples of the 1960's design styles (psychedelia, hippies, political protest and so on) in contemporary pieces.
Was just wondering if anyone knew of anything?
Thanks for you help
Rachael

I know it's a bit of a no-brainer, but start by looking at music posters etc. I know it's not strictly contemporary, but rock posters from the 90s tended to be big silk-screened creations that drew heavily from psychadelia. I strongly advise you read a book called 'Rock Posters of the 90s.' I forget who it's by, and off the top of my head I can't remember the individual artists' names. I'll give you more details this evening - I'm at work at the mo, not sure my boss would appreciate me researching hippy-influenced design work when I should be... ok I'm not even sure what I should be doing right now... 😃
