註釋As part of a wide-ranging investigation into the popular tastes of the nation, Cornerhouse plundered the photographic archives of the Design Council. Soon after the Design Council was set up, initially as The Council of Industrial Design in 1944, it quickly evolved to become the arbiter and proselytiser for good design. The archive offers an intriguing insight into our recent history and also gives us a humorous and subtle sideways glance at current concerns about the re-branding of Britain and Cool Britannia. Even a superficial trawl through the photographs leaves you in no doubt about the important visual legacy it has left us with.
