I also looked at pop stars from this era. I wanted ones that had big hair, people like Diana Ross and Phil Lynot

While researching my 70's project I found this fantastic book. It has every type of design from the decade.

For me the landscape of New York is as much a part of films like Saturday night fever and Taxi Driver.
I then started to look at New York's building and the artist Richard Estes.

The 1970's as a decade

I then started to look not just at disco but at the 70's as a whole. I watched the films Saturday night fever and taxi driver.

I looked at people like David Bowie, I also looked at studio 54. The Mott the hoople cover I used in one of my designs.

70's inspired designs

For my next project I look at the 1970's. I look at disco fashions and 70's album covers

I made the ceramic trinket boxes below for the Liverpool design festival. The sketch book pages are were my ideas for these boxes came from
