Whistle
Maker touches the material and stories start to unfold. Fish jumps out of water; splashes land on lion's fur while he is playfully interacting with a penguin. Somewhere nearby a swan is loosening its feathers; a river-horse and a parrot pass each other. The seal rests on the river bank together with a pig and something still is hiding behind the cupboard...

Design 2011
Tanguy Wermelinger and Martino Morandi, both students of Graphic Design, designed all the posters by using an 'interactive' Postermachine. Students can bring up there images and the machine creates big graduation posters of it. They also developped a video linking system, where students can upload a video, which inspired them. These are the little red squares on the hompage
