Graphic design in Africa. From the first alphabets to contemporary issues.

A brief review of the Saint-Étienne Design Biennial. Of course, it’s difficult to give you an exhaustive account of this event, which brings together several hundred exhibitions all around Saint-Étienne, let alone when visiting it with two little girls aged 3 and 5! In this context, I can already announce the 2013 design prize awarded by them : the Barbie-Foot !

Design and empathy, a reflection that brings together all areas of society. Whether it’s putting ourselves in the user’s shoes to understand and anticipate their needs, or enabling and supporting new forms of social bonding, empathy has been at the heart of the design discipline since its origins.

Fortunately, as I turned down an alleyway, I came across the “Istanbul Design Center”. It’s a school of applied art, a venue for exhibitions, workshops and conferences, a publishing house… in short, just what I was looking for!
A few posters have piqued my curiosity!
Unfortunately, I had to drop in outside opening hours… not a single student, just a calligraphy teacher who suggested I drop in again the following week… sniff… So it’s back in France that I find out more about this place and discover an amazing communication made by the founder of this place: Faruk Akın ( with a “ı” without a dot ! like in our Graphéıne logo! :-) )
