However we aren’t here to tell you to go and visit the festival this weekend, we are here to tell you to instead, go and visit the Anti Design Festival. New this year, the Anti Design Festival has been brought around by Neville Brody, the graphic designer and typographer is world renown for his work on throughout the past 30 years.

The Anti Design Festival is “a response to 25 years of cultural deep freeze, the Anti Design Festival will attempt to unlock creative fires and ideas, exploring spaces hitherto deemed out-of-bounds by a purely commercial criteria.”. You could look at this as “Punk” reaction to design. If you are going to the London Design Festival this weekend then definitely check this out and create your own opinion. We would tell you to go and look at the website for the ADF but it will seriously make you hate the festival before you even go, so instead download this pdf programmer for the festival:

From the 16th of Oc­to­ber to the 1st of Novem­ber, works rang­ing from draw­ing, graph­ic prints, paint­ing and mon­u­men­tal mural col­lages to graph­i­cal­ly in­spired 3D-​il­lus­tra­tions, book art and an­i­ma­tion will be on show. With more than 60 artists from all across the world, IL­LUS­TRA­TIVE brings to­geth­er an in­spir­ing cor­nu­copia of vi­su­al con­tem­po­rary cul­ture in the Villa Elis­a­beth lo­cat­ed in the heart of Berlin. IL­LUS­TRA­TIVE show­cas­es an in­ter­na­tion­al scene of artist-​de­sign­ers, whose works have been in­spired by sub­cul­ture move­ments like comic and graf­fi­ti as well as by ap­plied arts like il­lus­tra­tion and book art. The ex­hi­bi­tion ex­plores the merg­ing of in­fi­nite ma­te­ri­als and tech­niques in wide­ly un­prece­dent­ed com­bi­na­tions, which chal­lenge learned ways of see­ing – e.g. the lat­est de­vel­op­ment, where il­lus­tra­tion and graph­ics are trans­lat­ed into the third di­men­sion, or new nar­ra­tive strate­gies in 3D-​an­i­ma­tion. ]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2009/08/illustrative-09/feed/ 0
