my college and writer ‘ellen bokkinga’ has organised a seminar on the theme of ‘the role of language in the design process and the collaboration between designers and copywriters’ an often precarious relationship and something that definitely needs more attention…. the event takes place on the 17th of september in amsterdam (dutch only)

some impressive work in this porfolio by queens-based swiss designer julian bittiner

Democracy is a challenging new graphic design exhibition forming part of Design Event, the North East’s annual design festival. We’re aiming to create the ultimate democratic exhibition; we’re inviting designers and illustrators to submit their visual interpretation of the theme of Democracy and only those with the most votes will be featured in the exhibition. All qualifying entries are showcased on this website and you can then vote for your favourite. You can also leave comments on the work and get in contact with the artist/designer behind them.
