A Nice Cup of Graphic Design

Iraj Mirza Alikhani (member of IGDS, Iran) will be exhibiting posters created by his students during a workshop coinciding World Graphics Day. To be held at the Niavaran Artistic Creations Foundation (NACF), the exhibition theme is "Graphic Design and Satire".

Each poster was created within one hour, from the basic idea to the final printout. Satirical titles for the posters were selected with the cooperation of all of the students. The outcomes of this effort are posters that some show qualities as high as those of professional works.

The exhibition will be held from 9-28 June, 2008.

The Finger

Oded Ezer's new typo art project, the Finger, is an imaginary landscape of Hebrew letters. It was originally created as a homage to the Israeli poet, choreographer and art critic Hezi Leskley (1952-1994), echoing the title of his first book, published in 1986. The project consists on a short movie and a poster.

Oded Ezer is an Israeli typographer, type designer and lecturer, and a member of the DCI (Designers Community of Israel).
