By Katie Dominy / 2014-04-25 On our road around the events, we stumbled upon the signing of the festival Poster Kasteelplein project, with a spectacular backdrop of the castle of the Dutch Royal Military Academy HQ. This year the project of the poster is titled Reflect and GDFB asked designers, in a call, view the changes at the micro or mega on current political or social level.
Displayed on large frames attached to bicycles beixo black and elegant white - a new Dutch brand that boasts focused on the tree instead of using the traditional bike chain - 50 posters dealt with many issues, obesity GMOs and childhood to winning sustainability and political freedom. There was a wave of posters to the reflection on the subject of the Internet and its increasing dominance seen in our lives, as Prof. Lin, a student from China, including the poster features a giant cursor turned into a pine tree. "Put your computer switched off and go outside" is the legend of Lin Prof.. Max Senden, a graphic designer from the Netherlands, came with a full red Google explaining clearly lost map markers crammed poster. Senden reasoning behind the poster: "we sail in unknown places by a screen instead of using our eyes, minds and hearts to look down. What us are so afraid of? Does the idea of being lost or having to interact with unknown human being and ask for directions?" Pass that we arrived at a little pleasant, parking behind Ginnekenstraat, one of pedestrian Breda, shopping streets and discovered the urban note project sign painting. Four teams of artists are systematically transform each wall of the parking in murals painted by hand that are inspired by the history of this place. As it was 2 days of the festival, we could see the first almost completed design, created by the Dutch team of Rutger Termohlen, Collin van der Sluijs and Super. The trio told us how their mural referenced the former use of the car park as a cemetery to bury the victims of the plague. The mural represents a big rat, surrounded by a circle of children dance, visualization of the black death which swept Europe in the middle ages, transmitted by rat fleas. Dancing children comes from the nursery rhyme Ring a Ring o ' Roses and Black circles on their clothing, sinister black plague 'pink '. From crop, a DIY print shop, managed by the design of Antwerp Radionl collective (the Indians) to Reigerstraat 16, the location of the old Newsroom of the newspaper De Stem, now transformed in a "Graphic Design-machine" that allows the public to enter and create their own booklet. Start "in action" section and use the machinery of retro style to create your own pages, then along 'PRINT' where the page is continuing, that slowly, inks your designs. The paper is then cut while you to assemble your booklet. Magic! We liked the illustrated tour created by Paul Paetzel. Review, the tower is surrounded by style comic strip the Berlin designer brand. Paetzel also has a show running until May 25, 2014 in the SBK Galerie of the city, alongside the art of Rotterdam ROTGANZEN collective. And finally, the local movie theatre had some interesting projections - we enjoyed every day of rebellion in the Thursday night and Linotype: the film Saturday. In short, many things to see and do, and you have until April 27 to see all.
