It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our upcoming exhibition; A Celebration of June / 8th - 12th July, hosted by London College of Communication and curated by 3 current students of the university.
The exhibition displays 30 A1 posters produced by 30 creative individuals from throughout Europe, each offering their own interpretation of a day in June. As a collective the posters present a unique insight into the month of June, covering a variety of creative disciplines and providing a range of personalised approaches.
With 365 days in a year it has become an effort to fully understand the context of one single day in our own calendar. We often fail to recognise the true significance of events in our day and the impact it has on our lives.
The intention of the poster collective is to offer an identity to every single day in June, producing a poster display that presents a wealth of information about the days involved and finding something unique with each day of the month. The exhibition offers a great insight into the period of June, presenting personal interpretations from both Artists and Designers.

Rich at the previously linked Breakmould has emailed in to tell us of a collaborative effort between himself and Toby Evans in producing a tip-top promotional postcard for the Substance/08 graduate showcase event (for a select group of final year students at UCCA Farnham).
Rich says about the postcard, “The cards have been designed to promote the site, with a list of participating students on the reverse. Printed using 2-colour litho (black and fluoro green) on GFSmith 350gsm Pistachio Colorplan Smooth. The space at the bottom allows for an addressed sticker to be applied for postage distribution.”
See more images of the postcard here, and make a note of visiting the Substance/08 website too.
Jacqueline Colley is about to graduate from Chelsea College where she has been studying Graphic Design. She wrote to us saying, “For my Final Major project I approached Boxfresh who invited me to produce graphics surrounding their SS08 collection. To exhibit my work Boxfresh are putting on a night at their Covent Garden store.”
The event is on the 28th May from 6 til’ 9.30, and it looks like you can blag 25% off if you’re a tax dodger. There’s a bigger flyer here. Check out Jacqueline’s blog too for the story and work behind this, as there’s some neat stuff going on.
