PUNK LONDON is an upcoming year of events, gigs, film screenings, talks, exhibits and more to celebrate 40 years of punk herritage and influence in London. Middlesex’s Illustration BA was one of several design courses approched by the AOI to create flyers for the festival. We are delighted to say that three of our 2nd year students –MOLLY HOWARD-FOSTER, HENRY MATA and SHAZLEEN KHAN– have had their work picked to be used in the campaign. Their designs will be appearing in Time Out and used in Punk London’s digital and print advertising.
Below you can see their flyers as well as a selection of designs other students from the course;
