Graphic Design is part of our city’s DNA-it’s woven into the fabric of the landscape, surrounding us every day in countless forms. From buses and murals to branding and museum exhibitions, design sends a message, and artists are the storytellers. Their experiences inform the narrative and on a large scale, global design expressions.
