The Edinburgh International Science Festival was celebrating 30 years in 2018 and they had lots of fun, educational activities, and events planned until the 15th of April that year. 

We produced some tech-themed graphics for one of the Science Festival’s major funding partners Cirrus Logic at the City Art Centre. To make them look really special, we added 3D elements such as cut lettering, perspex elements, iridescent vinyl and magnifying glasses to allow kids to inspect tiny little microchips. These little touches make all the difference!
