Graphic Design Festival.


From the 8th to 30rd of May 2010 the second edition of the Graphic Design Festival Breda (GDFB) will take place. GDFB is a biannual festival on graphic design. The festival shows the current developments of this kind of design and a large part of it is on display in public spaces.

The festival is surprising for the public and professionals by showing the communicative powers of graphic design within our daily visual culture. Talented designers connect graphic design, technology, social context and the individual (the consumer) in their work.

The festival is not only meant for designers, but is also aiming for a broader public. In three weeks GDFB will reach the audience with presentations in the public space, thus stimulating thought about personal connection to visual culture. Also, the festival offers the professional audience insight in contemporary developments in the craft with exhibitions, lectures and workshops.



In 2010, the theme of the festival is 'decoding'. Todays digitial as well as realistic surroundings consist mainly of codes. Examples are language, barcodes, login codes, scripts, postal codes and telephone numbers. During GDFB, you can see how designers take information, images and interaction to hack, remix, sample, blend and code. Different workshops, exhibitions, lectures and presentations will have you experience how we handle images in our daily environment.
