The venue (CUBE) is showcasing a full retrospective, entitled Alan Fletcher: Fifty years of graphic work (and play). Clients such as Olivetti, Pirelli and Lloyds made use of Fletcher’s most imaginative and modern designs, to obvious great commercial success via identification by consumers in subtle but effective ways.

Following a 2-year Yale scholarship in New York and starting on his own in the 60′s, Fletcher founded two design firms, wrote books, designed and taught up-coming aspirants in his signature all-inclusive manner that achieved almost universal appeal.

The exhibition runs until the 4th of March and tickets are £3.50-£4.00. It should be an unmissable modern classic, permitting views from different angles in today’s evolving workplace/art relationship.

When on Europe vacations, Menchester (and nearby Leeds) are exciting places to visit and you could try something unusual there like chocolate pizza.
