...and people-watching adds to Soho dining treat
30 June 2011
For me, eating out is not just about good food and service, but also the fun of people-watching (Voxpop, DW 2 June). Randall & Aubin in London’s Brewer Street serves up on all counts good food and wine, and there is always an eclectic mix of people dining. If that doesn’t whet the palate enough, the entertainment of people-watching on the street outside never ceases to let you down.Alan Long, Creative director, Sane and Able, by e-mail

Stark realities
30 June 2011
Posters for charities must walk the difficult line between grabbing the attention of information-overloaded passers-by while avoiding looking like a significant chunk of the charity’s funds has been spent on flashy posters. Recently, a number of designers have negotiated this challenge by turning to a stark, pared-back aesthetic. They are achieving this through the use of heavily typographic concepts and high-impact simple portraiture.
