EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1964: A Do-It-Yourself Revolution in Full Swing (Cover design, Do it yourself, September 1964 - free ticket for exhibition at Olympia) This vibrant and inviting cover design from September 1964 encapsulates the DIY spirit of the 1960s, a time when taking matters into one's own hands was not just a motto, but a way of life. The image features a young man and woman, dressed in contemporary attire, standing in front of a quaint house with a car parked outside. The autumnal leaves falling from the trees and the gutter being cleared with a broom signify the seasonal transition and the ongoing tasks of home improvement. The couple's determined expressions and the 'free ticket for exhibition at Olympia' tagline suggest that they have been inspired by the DIY ethos and are eager to learn more. The exhibition at Olympia, a popular venue for trade shows and events in London, would have offered a wealth of knowledge and resources for those looking to enhance their homes and skills. The cover design, with its clean lines, bold typography, and warm colors, perfectly captures the optimistic and industrious mood of the era. DIY projects were not only a means of saving money and enhancing one's living space, but also a way to express creativity and individuality. This image serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the DIY movement and the satisfaction that comes from tackling projects with one's own two hands. Terry Parker's evocative cover design for the September 1964 issue of a DIY magazine is a reminder of a time when self-sufficiency and resourcefulness were celebrated, and when the possibilities for personal growth seemed endless.
