CR was amid the gently steaming crowd at the opening of the University of Brighton Graphic Design and Illustration show last night, just off London's Brick Lane. Here's a few highlights

Josh White designed a lovely poster for a film festival as well as that for the show (this is his photo)

And this is my (much worse) photo

Several of the students prersented album sleeve ideas. This one is for Tales of Mystery and Imagination by The Alan Parsons Project and Edgar Allan Poe, designed by Lucy Pritchett

And this Fleet Foxes album is by Sarah Prismall

Meghan Limbrick's 3D work was inspired by the novels of Mervyn Peake

Joe Porter's poster celebrates the end of apartheid using elements of the insignia of the nine new provinces of South Africa and the country's motto that translates as unity in diversity. Not the jigsaw puzzle background

Also from Porter

And this typeface based on a found mosaic from a 1940s hosiery shop

Poster by Rob Matthews

We've already featured Kyle Bean's Evolution of the Mobile Phone project in our Feed section. His project on disposable technology features cardboard models of electronic devices

This poster from Richard Carey references Edgar Allen Poe's work with cyphers and cryptography. In 1840 Poe challenged the public, saying that he could crack any code sent to him. The poster details his working method.

Also from Carey, this poster

And this

And two design conference posters from Sarah Hatch

From Kit Humphrey

All round, a very strong show and well worth a look. It's at the Rag Factory, Heneage St, London E1, until July 6

Update
Here's another shot of that cool floor (see comments below)

The best thing at the show was the floor. It was all really great stuff though. Lots of records! Has Brighton not gone digital yet

A lot of inspiring stuff. It’s a pity that Brighton is too far away.

Hehe the first thing that grabbed my attention was the floor! I was wondering how you could utilise it in some way or form?

Looks great, will check it out over the weekend. The Camberwell show on Shoreditch High Street is also well worth a visit - some of my pics at http://flic.kr/ohmystars

Awesome work. No doubt about where I want to do my MA now.
Wish we'd had that kind of freedom on my course.
Love the floor too.

Brighton has a thriving graphic design community and the University continues to produce a steady stream of talented individuals, inspired by Head of Art Lawrence Zeegen. In my day it was a Polytechnic and the year I left macs were introduced... how times change.

I think that Brighton is by far one of the best institutions for graphic design.

Happy students, great work. This shows the truth of that maxim and the work has integrity and power worthy of the best published examples.

Well worth a look. Saw it in Brighton as well as part of HUGE degree show exhibition but this was special being able to really spend some time in more intimate surrounds!! Well done to all the students - and good luck

I really liked the disposable waste made out of cardboard and the typography and photography combined picture of noise. really impressive.

As a general note - the re-assembled gym floor concept was first done by Nike for it's sportswear retail and event spaces many moons ago.
