Student graphic designer (at University College Falmouth) Gareth Horner designed this very nice poster. Here was the brief of this project :
To design and produce a poster for a fictional MA Typography course at University College Falmouth, informing students of upcoming lectures every friday.
No illustration or photography could be incorporated into the design, amd only one coulour and typeface could be used.
The posters of the Paris uprising of May 1968 comprise some of the most brilliant graphic works ever to have been associated with a movement for social and political change. This selection of original posters coincides with The Hayward’s 40th birthday and celebrates the vibrant activist graphics and revolutionary spirit of summer 1968.
The exhibition is curated by Johan Kugelberg in collaboration with The Hayward curatorial team and Jeff Boardman, Creative Director of Freewheelin’.
Supported by Converse with additional support from the New York Herald Tribune and Time Out.
To complement this exhibition, Magnum Photos present a projection of photographs by Bruno Barbey, whose record of the Paris riots produced some of the most iconic images from that year.
Thursday 1 May 2008 – Sunday 1 June 2008 , 10am – 6pm (daily), Late night Fridays until 10pm

minimalexperimental is a platform for online and offline design exhibitions. They want to encourage designers to be more daring, to experiment more, not to choose the most available solution to any project. They are here to promote graphic designers and to promote experimental design as contemporary form of expression. For the time being they will organize exhibitions in Romania.
