Observations on art, 2005
The posters in this exhibition are the work of thirty of the most talented designers and illustrators practicing today. We invited them to create an artwork using very simple materials–a sheet of A1 premium paper from GF Smith and a set of Tria Markers from Letraset. Our aim was to create an opportunity where designers could step away from their computers and create a piece of work that required them to interact physically with their materials. We wanted to see what today’s best designers would do when asked to pick up pens and draw, rather than rely on their Macs.
