About ‘Design Criminals’

There are certain things that are beyond the normal canon of design activity. These are things that you won’t see in design magazines or museums.

Bobbies on the tweet - police go online

"The experiment was designed to demonstrate the police's role as social workers as well as law enforcers. By the afternoon, the force had received almost 1,500 calls during the first 10 hours. The tweets being written by the public relations' team rather than frontline officers, who were presumably doing real police work at the time.

Recording your Armoured Response

Think carefully about how you record the (re)action of your amoured response - magnum photos is reknown for its photographic archive and might provide some inspiration on how to set up, compose and arrange your photographic records.

If Looks could Kill

The Library Kills by Boudicca
A Killer, all his victims and crimes - Found in the Platform13 Library. The story unfolded by looking through random books to compile a Story/Film/Evidence. This was a film comissioned by Fashion in Film Festival London 'If Looks could Kill' 10-31 May 2008

The festival had an excellent programme of classic Films exploring the compelling links between cinema, fashion, crime and violence. Tackling themes such as disguise, the expression of desire, juvenile delinquency and the corruption of beauty, the festival features a string of underworld characters and their prosecutors whose highly effective costume, styling and sartorial gestures helped define cinematic genres from detective to thriller, gangster, film noir and horror.
