Pop-up shop

BA/FD Graphic Design programme from Plymouth College of Art opened a pop-up shop venue in Drake Circus shopping mall to showcase student work. An exhibition was set up, along with a series of workshop activities in beautiful hand made printed cards by Hannah Baldwin, stencilled t-shirt printing by Ross Edwards, portrait photography by Tatsu Ishikawa, type design by David Cooper, letter press by Danni Goss and Emily Clark along with the Design Hub team members (Zara Walker, Claude Compere, Eliot Sleep, Sam Donohoe) working on live projects where a studio set up was created. This allowed public to interact with students and see what the programme offers. 

Year 3 students used the space to self promote their upcoming event - Summer exhibition at PCA and New Designers, in London.


These beautiful posters "lets fill this town with Graphic Design" designed by typography and calligraphic lecturer Paul Mattock was a big hit and many got sold. Numerous other pieces of work were sold within the Design Hub Outlet (an online site in development), as well as commissions that came through for our alumni.

All in all, a great successful event that was valuable for marketing the programme, showcase of student work on display with good sales, and above all a good student experience. Fantastic.
