Poster Design

Garth Walker

Poster design for cultural institutions and poster exhibition requests by fellow AGI Members. Regrettably South Africa has little in the way of a culture of poster design - other than commercial or retail product posters. Much of my approach to designing a poster is to inject a South African flavour (in some way). Often I will source inspiration from my collection of local "street and township" vernacular design.

He has had a lifelong interest in art and sought out first-hand experience of exhibitions and galleries worldwide.
