HDR Sketch Pod #3: Radio Ads, Daytime TV and a hungover Mars Rover...plus some other bits Artwork

Hamburg Design Review

What is this? Since the beginning I have been asked this question countless times. From family members peering over my shoulder to look at my earliest notebook scribblings, to investors, wary of sinking their cash into a project that is - at least in appearance - so ambiguous. But The Hamburg Design Review is not ambiguous. We have a direction. I come from a family of reviewers and writers. People who, like those who chase after storms, have spent their lives leaping into 4x4 vehicles and driving towards the horizon of the mind. Chasers of ideals and ideas, those who seek to fuse styles and bridge conceptual gaps. Ultimately, to find forms of public expression that are more innovative, and more inviting.The HDR is a forum for such expression, be it serious, or silly, or written, or visual, perhaps aural. Who knows and who could even say? Perhaps, if we are lucky, we will have all of these given to us, in one heady shot of the contemporary.So what is this? Now I ask you.I ask you to pick up the salt shaker and that little wedge of lime.Let us try this shot together.The Editor x.

HDR Sketch Pod #3: Radio Ads, Daytime TV and a hungover Mars Rover...plus some other bits

November 18, 2022

Cast your tired mind back to those precious days, those most hallowed of days on which you convinced mum you were too ill for school. Sick, headache, dizzy - all masterfully faked, and why? So you could sit in an unnecessary blanket and watch daytime TV and soak in the waves of the radio. Culture, all of it. Look, let's keep this short, it's been a while since you heard from us at the HDR. I'd say "our bad", but it's not, it's actually all your fault. Anyway, even though you did...that, here's the long anticipated return of the Hamburg Design Review's Sketch Pod, number 3 - of which the running order can be found hence:
