GoD


GoD episode one: Ghosts in the Machine


GoD episode two: Designs for Living

‘This five-part series tells the story of design from the Industrial Revolution through 20s modernism, the swinging 60s, the designer 80s and up to the present day. Features interviews with star designers like Philippe Starck and creatives from Apple and Ford; as well as design fans like Stephen Fry.’

Finally in the US we have a peek at the BBC’s brilliant series on design history, The Genius of Design. Posted above are episodes one and two. With logotype set in Museo, of course.

Update: The BBC blocked the Vimeo postings of these episodes – but – I found the bloody things posted on a server in China. Really. Click on the above images/links to jump/watch. And hey at this point, I’m not posting them myself. Just providing links.

Would love to have the entire series on a US-friendly (Region 1) DVD.
