2009 The London Poster Project

In 2009 the Festival challenged 20 of the country's best graphic designers to celebrate London

Presented as part of the London Design Festival at the V&A in September 2009, this limited series of 20 posters, designed by some of the country's most renowned graphic designers and typographers was commissioned by Domenic Lippa of Pentagram and Festival chair Sir John Sorrell and aimed to celebrate an essential aspect of design talent in London.

"The brief was just 'celebrate London' using just black and red," said Lippa. "You never know what people will do - that's the joy of it."
