So long, Farewell!

Listening to: Émilie Simon

So, this was my last week at Uni! Very sad indeed. 

Emily, Marta and I had our last lesson with Didier to finish off our book projects. It was satisfying to finish off the books and create a box to cover it. Almost metaphoric, eh? To tie off loose ends and box them all up nicely. 

Emily and I gave two of our closest tutors gifts from England, as a thanks for all their support over the year. A mug with 'I'd rather be in the pub' was much appreciated by Didier!

 Well, I shall leave you with some photographs from around ERBA, and will add photos from my final days in Besançon next week. 

So, from my flat in Besançon I join my parents at a little hotel in a village just outside Besançon. Then we drive down to our favourite tree surrounded hotel, La Sapiniere in Wisques.

The next day we drive down to Calais and get the ferry from there!  

100 Beste Plakate Exhibition

Listening to: Chase & Status

It's our last couple of weeks left in Besançon, or rather our last lessons at the university. ERBA often holds exhibitions and this week's has been brilliant!

100 Beste Plakate exhibits a selection of the 100 best posters in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2009 and 2010.
I already own one of their books from a previous year and absolutely adore it.
So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when given the opportunity to go around the exhibition. 

                   

                                           

I am always fascinated by poster art and the different ways artists can create them. You can use so many different techniques and materials, some of them very simple and yet effective.

I suppose that's what draws me to poster art, experimenting with how to translate a message without having to spell it out!
