Decades
The Brief Design a range of poster prints based on the concept of Decades. The poster prints will be sold during Market Week at Leeds College of Art Pop up Shop. This is a research driven brief. Concept/Proposition Decades – Design and print a series of poster prints around the concept of Decades. The prints will portray a sense of the nostalgia and popular fads of that particular decade.
Background Once again the college is offering all students another opportunity to sell some of your work to the general public in partnership with Leeds’ most successful arts organisations.

Target Audience Attendees of the pop-up shop. Typically students and groups with an interest in art and design.
