MTV Party to Go, Vol. 1 & 2

I have been intrigued by the graphic design of the early 90's lately, and the MTV Party to Go comps are a pretty good representation of what I'm referring to.  See also stuff like promotional materials and album covers by Technotronic and C+C Music Factory.

What are we seeing in this kind of work?

• Tons of high-energy neon jewel tones, contrasted with each other and with black
• Bold, (perhaps artificially) condensed or expanded typefaces like Impact
• Saturated photography
• Circular badge-like graphics

YES!

If you're interested in listening to these gems, they're obtainable online: Volume 1 / Volume 2

MTV Music Video Awards, 1980's.

Tina Turner and Eddie Murphy, 1985

Eurythmics, 1985

Cher, 1985

Pat Benatar, 1985. That hair!

Til Tuesday, 1986.

My friend Sarah resembles her. She even had a similar hairstyle back in the day.

Robert Palmer, 1986

Cyndi Lauper, 1987

I think I am starting to see a connecting theme with all of this hair!

Janet Fielding

Eric introduced me to this, because he's always been a Dr. Who fan. This is Janet Fielding. She played Australian air hostess Tegan Jovanka, one of the Doctor's assistants from 1981 - 1984. Eric said that he always had a little crush on her, and I can see why: she has some hot outfits!
