Part of the Loeries Travelling Exhibition

The Loeries Travelling Exhibition, sponsored by Adobe and showcasing winning work from The Loerie Awards, will visit the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography between 3 and 17 October.

“We are really excited to host the Loeries Travelling Exhibition; every year it generates a lot of interest as it brings the best of brands across print, television, ambient and more. It’s a privilege to have it come down to Stellenbosch. It’s also good for the local community,” says marketing manager of Stellenbosch Academy, Louise van Wyk.

The work exhibited provides inspiration to all interested in brand communication, including disciplines such as publication design, architecture, direct marketing, digital media, television and print communication.

In line with the educational facet of the exhibition, Adobe will be offering a complimentary ‘deep dive’ workshop on the enhanced features of the industry-leading Adobe Creative Suite 5. Adobe CS5 workshops are a showcase of the latest features of the Adobe Creative Suite 5 software, including tips and tricks that will benefit all creative professionals; from print, web to video production, students and photographers.

“Creativity is enabled by great tools and the right platforms. Our partnership with the Loeries Travelling Exhibition is a great platform to promote and reward excellence in the creative industry,” says Grant O'Connor, regional manager at Adobe Systems Sub-Saharan Africa. “We envisage our partnership growing to offer even more value to the creative community.”

The exhibition will end its annual journey in Namibia in November this year, when it visits advertising agency, DV8 Saatchi & Saatchi, in Windhoek.
