The Blitz Party

A friend of mine introduced me to an event called The Blitz Party in London, and I really want to go! From the video and pictures on its site, it looks like everyone makes an incredible effort, and must be quite a surreal experience. I appreciate the idea of celebrating our past, especially a time when the fashion was elegant and the design memorable.

I love the website: the space has been used in a simple way that I’ve surprisingly never seen before, and I like how the imagery has been simplified through silhouettes, but still has lovely detail. I also admire the restrained use of colour, suitable I suppose for the theme. The press page however is my favourite, it’s a great method to interest the reader instead of the usual list of links you find on some websites.

The chosen typeface is a bit disappointing, and I wish something could have been done to avoid the white space between the tunnel and videos. Perhaps it could have been made black, and then a white line could have been added for the edge of the tunnel, but this is probably just me being pedantic.

I would love to go to one of the events, perhaps New Years Eve...
