An exhibition of poster designs by celebrated graphic designer, Paula Scher, partner of Pentagram New York.

“As long as I’ve been practicing design, I have been most obsessed with the connection between the work I create and its public. It began when I was a record cover designer in the 70s, working in an area of pop culture where audiences made a connection between graphic design and music. Later in my career, I was happiest working in the public realm where the work existed in the physical form: on the streets, in public spaces, on packaging, and later, through identity systems for cultural organizations, particularly theaters and art museums.

I love the scale of the poster. I love big things outside. I love working on environments and environmental graphics. And I love when other people engage with them”.

Paula Scher is a keynote speaker, talking about her remarkable career as one of the world’s premier graphic designers, at the DM19 Conference on Friday 22 November.
