Old Educational Slides

I cant' remember if I ever uploaded these. Just found on my Flickr stream. Originally from a car boot many years ago. Most are pretty dull but a few odd ones like the negative ones and the wartime handy hints etc.

More Basic Design Slides

As promised (see previous post) some more wonderful slides from The Focal Point Basic Design Slide collection (1968)

 

A Box of Delights. A Box of Basic Design Slides

A while back I had the good fortune to come across a wonderful box of Slides, these slides were produced by Focal Point and were called Basic Design Slides. In the box were a total of 168 slides. The best way to describe these slides would be that they are very similar to the images/shapes/graphics in Kurt Rowlands Looking and Seeing series of books (Pattern and Shape, The Shapes we Need, The Development of Shape and The Shape of Towns) I passed these on to my friend Mr Stevens, who very kindly scanned the whole lot. They are really very good, and to be honest I will probably use them at a later date. But until then, here is a very small selection.
