London’s Somerset House have announced it will hold a graphics festival next Spring.
This event will be welcomed with open arms by the creative community as graphics underpins so many strands of commercial design, yet goes largely uncelebrated in the UK, due to the popularity of 3D design.
Graphics are the basis of so many creative applications, from advertising, design, branding, etc, yet there is a decline in teaching skills such as drawing and typography in colleges.
By celebrating the best in graphics through the Somerset House festival, we hope these issues can be addressed.
