Excellent Typographic work by Becky Howeson and the Print Club. Inspiring and timely for both BA and MA students. Ground floor exhibition space, Parkside
We’ve just returned from a fantastically inspiring 4-day trip to Berlin with 24 Graphic Communication students and 1 from Illustration. We packed in so much; including an Alternative Berlin street art tour, sunset from the TV Tower, a tour of the Buchstaben museum, the Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust memorial, Mauerpark flea market, the Jewish Museum, Eastside Gallery, and YAAM beach bar. We ended our trip on a high with a studio visit and talk from prolific graphic artist Patrick Thomas. A great time was had by all, with lots of laughs and memories made. #mybcu
Another fantastic Type Society calligraphy workshop run by expert Nick Caulkin. The students are getting better each time. #typenerds #practicemakesperfect #mybcu
Come on Viscom! This call out could be just up your street...
This year we had two separate field trips to NYC with just over 40 students crossing the pond. All major sights were visited and students came back, imspired and invigorated.
We’re already thinking of **NYC 2020** which marks the 20th anniversary since the great millennium field trip in 2000 when we took 120 students... never to be repeated.
