This image is a full-page magazine advertisement from 1983 for the Black & Decker Dustbuster Plus cordless vacuum. The scene is staged inside a living room with beige carpeting and a red, patterned wall in the background. At the far back of the room are mid-century–style furnishings: a pale green upholstered sofa, a matching chair, a small side table with a lamp, a staircase rising along the left wall, and a potted plant. The foreground dominates the composition. A handheld, gold-colored Dustbuster Plus vacuum is shown from a low angle, held in a person’s right hand. The person’s fingernails are painted red. The vacuum is actively cleaning a wide, curved path through a large mess scattered across the carpet. The debris includes white rice or grains, spilled food, broken glass, tipped-over containers, an overturned houseplant with exposed soil, a fallen vase, and scattered household items. The cleaned path is clearly visible as a lighter, debris-free arc contrasting with the surrounding mess, emphasizing coverage area. Bold black text near the bottom reads, “IT COVERS MORE GROUND.” Beneath this is a block of smaller explanatory text describing the Dustbuster Plus as a cordless vacuum with longer running time and added attachments for crevices and upholstery. The Black & Decker logo appears at the lower right, alongside a small product image showing the Dustbuster and its accessories. A copyright date of 1983 is visible, reinforcing the early-1980s context.

Worlds Aids Day
.
In 1987, the
Silence = Death poster was created by a New York-based group of artists to protest the U.S. government's inaction on the AIDS epidemic, which they saw as a result of government and societal silence.

The image is a poster with a solid black background featuring a centered pink triangle oriented with the point upward. Beneath the triangle, in large white block letters spanning the width of the poster, is the text “SILENCE = DEATH.” Along the bottom margin, in small white text, is a line of messaging that references political inaction regarding the AIDS crisis, including mentions of the Reagan administration, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Vatican. It states that gays and lesbians are not expendable and urges actions such as voting, boycotting, and self-defense. A small copyright notice at the bottom right identifies the creators as the “Silence = Death Project” with a date of 1987.

I'm trying to find an old (mid-late 80s) British graphic design documentary. My aging brain thinks it was called Signs of the Times and had interviews with Neville Brody etc. Anyone remember it? even better if you have a link ;)
