Bedazzled limited edition poster by Piper Gates Design

Bed1

If you loved The Prisoner by Piper Gates Design recently, chances are you'll also love this latest limited edition poster by the designer, a new take on Bedazzled.

As you might have guessed, this is a tribute to the original Bedazzled, not the nightmare remake. Which means it does, of course, feature one of its stars – the legend that is Peter Cook. Like the recent Prisoner poster, it also uses the format of 1960s Penguin paperback reference books, complete with an old 3'6 price tag on the top.

Just 30 copies of this have been produced, sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on 194 gram paper, all signed by the artist. If you want one, you can grab one for £24.99. See over the page for an image of one framed up.

Cult clip: Design For Today (1965)

We actually featured the DVD last year, but I've just noticed a clip from the BFI's Design For Today package on YouTube, so here it is.

A quirky little film without words that highlights industrial design of the day – that day being a day in 1965, as you might have guessed from the title. Oh yes, it was also the work of future Chariots of Fire director Hugh Hudson.

Check it out below and check out the other BFI clips, some fascinating material online in their channel.
