A series of five posters, each completed in one day as part of a five-day poster workshop with Ludovic Balland. The theme for the week was VoltaMitte, a semi-residential area of Basel near the Novartis Campus currently undergoing urban revitalization. Each student chose one of three new buildings under construction to develop a poster series which tells a story about either the building, area, community, etc or a political, cultural or economic statement about the area. Parameters for the project included working only in black and white, and to develop a unique tyepface for use in the message with each poster developing as an evolution of the previous days work.
