N° 01 — The brief
Ten nights, forty artists and a city-wide campaign with a tiny print budget.
N° 02 — The approach
Each poster is a single word set huge and cut by light, printed in two fluorescent inks on black paper so the posters glow under street lights. One system covers posters, banners, maps and the programme.
N° 03 — The outcome
300 posters, 40 banners and a 64-page programme. The festival sold out its paid tickets for the first time.

The posters were stolen off the walls — the best review we could ask for.
