Sergeant Pepper
Podge 2009
The Sergeant Pepper theme came out of Centaur group art director's lifelong passion for The Beatles and in particular the immortal line "it was 20 years ago today" which coincided beautifully with the celebration of his colleague Lynda Relph-Knight celebrating 20 years as editor of Design Week. So the design mantle was taken up by Centaur and Colin McHenry, group art director of Centaur.
Colin enlisted the aid of his creative team and came up with a splendid theme that involved every menu having a different front cover of design week going back 20 years, fantastic attention to detail and some great memories of each year's headlines over the period. And to put the icing on the cake Sir Peter Blake joined us at the lunch and presented a fabulous Sergeant Pepper award to Lynda signed by everybody in the room. The website was created by the team at Nitro/Mook. Another fantastic podge lunch done and dusted.
