London Time Capsule


The Notting Hill Gate tube station, that was closed at the end of the 1950's has been opened again to reveal a selection of incredible advertisments that are still up. This fascinates me greatly, to be able to see first hand where people used to walk and what companies were doing to tempt the customer in the 50's. The typography and imagery used is in the posters is so effective. The blocky colours is what strikes me and grabs my attention most.
