The value of the poster
At the recent Redesigning (Graphic) Design Education workshop at the University of Derby (14 March 2012), graphic designer/writer Adrian Shaughnessy presented provocatively the claim that 'no one designs posters any more.' However it appears that the poster is indeed alive and kicking - as evidenced by The Poster journal, published in recent years and the wealth of posters that are to be found internationally. The poster is an old favourite of students - a fast ephemeral form that can communicate a myriad of ideas, messages...
This academic year's event
The 2011/12 annual symposia saw students working together in a lively Pecha Kucha session, group design work and a major poster show. Prizes were awarded to the top three posters - as judged by all.

2011/12 event
Poster design: Lauren Davidson BA(Hons)Graphic Design Level 6, Arts University at Bournemouth, 2011. The annual symposium brought together BA (Hons) Graphic Design final year students from the Arts University College at Bournemouth and Cardiff Metroplitan University and Coventry University - students shared in their research work - through presentations, group design work and poster exhibition. It is hoped further universities will join this exciting event.
The opportunity for students to develop further and use their research experience beyond the assessment requirement of the course could help students further in their careers. It could inspire their research aspirations and support their application to postgraduate study or research related vocational roles and contexts.
