GDFB agenda

GDFB/LPT @Chaumont

The organisation of the 23e International Poster and Graphic Design Festival in Chaumont (France) has invited the Graphic Design Festival Breda to exhibit a project during the festival. From the 26th May till the 3rd of June GDFB will be presenting LPT. This is the second time that GDFB is participating in Chaumont.

Black and White Are Not Colors

Create a poster that deals with extremes (think black/white), that was the question. Use only two colors, black and white are not allowed, that was the limitation. An explosion of colors, is the result.

GDFB Seminar. On decoding and graphic design

On Tuesday 25 May, GDFB organizes a seminar with presentations by seven national and international designers and scientists. They will give deeper insight on the Decoding theme. By means of everyday examples and results from research, they will show how the increasing digitalization influences and changes the field of the graphic designer.

Designer Toys XL

Breda’s Valkenberg park is the setting of several classical and modern sculptures. The average passer-by takes no notice or is even aware of their presence. But, the park forms a perfect setting for the presentation of sculptures. That’s why GDFB will display a series of contemporary 3D sculptures in the park during the course of the festival; the Designer Toys XL.

Opening GDFB 2010

Saturday 8 May is the day of the official opening of the festival. This opening is exclusively for business and creative partners of GDFB.
