BASIC INFORMATION
"Graphic Trial is a project that explores the possibilities of graphic design and printmaking where leading creators collaborate with printing directors from Toppan Printing to produce original posters, the final deliverables of their printmaking experiments.
Started in 2006, the project celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. To commemorate this milestone year, an exhibition will be hosted twice to showcase a collection of all the 210 poster works produced by the 42 teams of creators and printing directors, as well as the descriptions of how their printmaking experiments were conducted.
