California

In some stairs and two hundred items of a beautiful diversity,  California: Designing Freedom exhibition present the best of the creation of the 1960s until today. 

The set allows provided an overview of different graphic universes. If the poster large format occupies the majority of the space, the exhibition also presents projects like the self-driving car, or advertising on giant screen, the working equipment and even a dose of LSD has Mickey's effigy in the Psychedelic design part. 

 
I particularly appreciated the combination of the ultra modern building, the ceiling which seem to never end with the design works, in lively colors and geometrical forms. It gave rise to completely singular, original and unpredictable visual style.

 

One of the thing that I find abosoltly amazing is that it's impossible to date the posters, I had to verify on the small sign. It tricked me evrey time.  
 



It seems to me that the public, as me, is often not satisfied by exhibitions in general. For reasons of comfort, because of the times, we walk trough the hole thing fast and we don't see the full exposition.

But for California: Designing Freedom it was really not the case, I carfully, for the first time in my life walk Through an exhibition and enjoying every single thing.
