25x4 - Rosie Boycott

When Channel 4 launched in 1982, it heralded a mould-breaking form of television that sought to innovate, educate and elevate; some of those innovations have entered the mainstream while others are more fondly remembered as exciting indicators of a time past. In the twenty-five years that have since elapsed, Britain is now a vastly different place both creatively and culturally. C4@25 explores the changing face of where we live, how its changed, and why it happened through twenty-five trends, analysed by some of Britains most exciting essayists and photographers, and illustrated by numerous art commissions. Just as Channel 4 opened up the way for great design within TV, C4@25 boasts some of the most arresting and exciting visuals to be found anywhere, resulting in a fresh and exhilarating book.
