When I was studying Fine Art it was difficult for anyone on my course to get professional looking marketing materials together, as fine art students tend not to have access to computers with design software available, and even if you did you were not trained to use them. I think that this is an example of why tutors and students need to be working together with other departments, in this case graphic design, for not only the reasons clear here but to gain experience of working, commissioning and collaborating with other creatives.

It seems to me to be a really poorly designed and lackluster effort. Best of luck to everyone involved, but I would be angry if that was supposed to be representing my work (if I had a creative bone in my body, anyway.). x Whilst I am sure that the artists and art are all exemplary, am I the only one who finds the above flyer incredibly wanting?
