I was invited to talk on the DesignCrime5 panel for the Cannt Festival. Organised by Steve Price and Max Fraser, its for all the unlucky sods not invited to Cannes. DesignCrime5 is a bit like the TV show room 101 and, in homage to the Olympics, this years theme was Patriotism.
My nominations included interior homewares brandishing flags such as, cushions, fridges and ovens - particularly John Lewis' latest range - formidable rot and best left to the mess hall. Irish pub's, of which there are (8 in Rome alone) are patriotic scurge of any self-respecting city. Australian by birth, my focus was slightly different to the rest of the panel. The Australian flag got a mention & Tourism Australia's Oprah campaign.
The worthy winner/loser for this year went to P&G's recent campaigns using patriotism to coincide with the Jubilee and Oympics.
