Fontastic! L6 Typographic Exhibition, Birmingham, UK

Students from the l6 SIG in Graphic Communication, presented an interesting exhibition presenting their typographic design. The exhibition showcased a series of Typographic posters communicating the students career goal to their prospective industry employers.

Complementing the Type and poster design was a collection of Direct Response media. Through the development of a piece of Introductory media the students produced objects, including their type design, to introduce themselves and their skills to targeted industry professionals in their area of practice.

Images of the exhibition can be seen on the Flickr pool.

The Penguin Design Award competition brief is now open, with a closing date of Friday 17th April 2009. We're strongly encouraging entry from students across the Visual Communication course, and this would be a great opportunity to try out a real brief in the publishing industry. 

Remember, you can submit work done for competition briefs in support of your Major Project as part of a body of work.
