Dundee Design Festival 2019 explores what a Liveable/Loveable city is by asking: how can a city use design to shape its future?
MAKE YOUR MARK ON THE CITY
Wherever you are in the world, our Self-service Poster Playground allows you to be part of DDF19. Come and play with our custom designed variable typeface, shapes, pattern and colour palette. Create a poster to say something to your city and we’ll print it and paste it up in Dundee as part of the festival.
18.00 - 20.00
22 - 27 May
Join us for something completely different every night of the festival. We’ve created a series of fun and thought-provoking events based around our Liveable/Loveable theme. We’ll be questioning identity, looking to the future and hosting a design gameshow.
