Andrew Howard, coordinator of ESAD's MA in Communication Design, was at the third edition of the Fête du Graphisme, an international graphic design festival celebrating work from around the world. The brainchild of Michel Bouvet, a french poster designer and a Personal Views lecture series speaker at ESAD, in 2013.

After last year's participation in the We Love Books exhibition and in the 4-day workshop with french design students, this time Andrew Howard was one of 39 international designers asked to design a poster for the streets of Paris, under the title Célébrer la Ville (Celebrate the City).

Under the idea that we are not simply observers of the spectacle, we are ourselves part of it, Andrew Howard explains that there are as many ways to define the city as there are stories to tell about it, and each invited designer recreated their own reading.

The 39 posters were placed in locations all over Paris. Later in January they will all come together in one display on the Champs-Élysées.
