Brief for the Workshop poster

A group of TaiK students left for Namibia in October 2007. They participated in a workshop arranged by University of Art and Design Helsinki, University of Namibia and a local company called Woven Arts for Africa. 

The School of Design is asking you to design a poster about the workshop which concentrated on new product ideas, patterns and design development.

Title: Felting and Weaving Workshop
Time: 2.10.-15.10.2007
Place: Namibia, Windhoek

The Workshop poster

The Workshop poster


The idea for the poster came from the large number of photographs I took during the workshop I actually participated in Windhoek in October. I wanted to use the photographs as a starting point. At the same time I wanted to bring in a new and fresh approach for a local (Namibian) traditional crafts. Random is a word I would describe my implementation idea for the poster. I wanted to make a "Poster Generator" that makes a new kind of poster everytime.
