Check out the homage to the local UK newsagent by Son’ Emirali – Founder and Director of Plog Magazine and Online Designer at Estée Lauder Companies UK. Here is what he has done in creating his new book, Fosters:
In the heart of Brockley Rise, South East London, lies a corner shop like no other, Fosters Newsagents. A 90 year old newsagents that is renowned for its vast amount of excessive stock, overpowering layout, welcoming service and of course the greatest sweet selection one could ever dream of. This 136 paged book de-constructs the overload of stock, colour, and categorisation whilst introducing dialog of conversations which replicate the daily atmosphere. Thanks to Rodney, his wife and the customers for making this book possible.
As I noted, this book is an homage. Just wonderful. Be sure to click on the link and look at the photos.
What an amazing little world that place is. Yep, a wonderful atmosphere and I bet Rodney and his wife
treat you like Royalty when you walk inside.
They do indeed, especially when I told them I was making a book on their shop 😉
Kudos for such a wonderful publication!
