Freedom on the Fence is a documentary project about the history of Polish posters and their significance to the social, political and cultural life of Poland. Examining the period from WWII through the fall of Communism, Freedom on the Fence captures the paradox of how this unique art form flourished within a Communist regime. The documentary contains interviews with older and younger generations of poster artists, examples of past and current poster work, historic and current film footage of where and how the poster is viewed, and commentaries from both American and Polish scholars and artists on the significance of the Polish poster as a cultural icon.

The article below is published on the Creative Review website showing a personal project by UWE Graphic Design student Jono Lewarne. The printed version comes with this months CR.

Since I bought my own screen-printing equipment last year, my flat has been a mess of rough prints and colour tests. Some I’ve kept and some have been lost to the recycling bin.
The one notebook that has remained is my Moleskine Craft, which has been used as a ‘make-ready’ since my very first printing session at home. Every single thing I’ve printed has been screened onto it first, with regular scans posted to my blog.
There was no endgame to this behaviour – I just did it as I thought it could end up as an interesting record of my home printing. This made it all the more surprising to hear that Creative Review were interested in featuring it in Monograph.
It has evolved so much and has provided me with inspiration for choosing colour palettes for my other projects. The chance over-printing of inks has continued to catch my eye, and I hope it catches yours too.
Jono Lewarne is a graphic design student at the University of the West
of England in Bristol. He enjoys experimenting with all forms of printmaking. More of his work can be seen on his website jonolewarne.com

Open brief from Amelia’s Magazine and PLATFORM • Closing date: 2nd Nov 2009
The Royal Bank of Scotland. RBS. Formally known with pride as the “oil and gas bank” due to their close alliance with the fossil fuel industries. What on earth would I have to do with them? They may have lost the unfortunate moniker, partly due to a hugely successful campaign by People and Planet student activists who launched a spoof ad campaign and website named the Oyal Bank of Scotland before delivering a host of greenwashing awards – but they’re certainly not due for any special ethical mentions yet.
Not yet.
There was of course a massive £33 billion bank bailout from the taxpayer for RBS last year. But RBS didn’t spend the money on anything worthwhile. Oh no, the truth is that RBS still has oily blackened hands. Most people will remember the Fred Goodwin debacle, he who managed to retire at the age of 50 on a £16 million pension funded by taxpayers. But that’s not the whole of it – since the bailout some of our money has been used to arrange loans for the fossil fuel industries worth a staggering £10 billion, including a substantial sum for E.ON, the company that wants to build a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth. Despite the best efforts of activists – there was an impromptu snowball fight during the winter, Climate Rush held a luncheon dance and Climate Camp set up camp down the road at Bishopsgate – RBS continues to invest in unsustainable resources.
But the good news is there is hope for change!
