TO SPEAK A SINGLE LANGUAGE IS TO BE ENCLOSED IN ONE CULTURAL POSSIBILITY
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) has released figures for the amount of applicants to UK university courses during the past year. The data indicates that the amount of applicants is down 7.4% overall. Amongst the general decline in many courses, applications to study European language are down by 11.2 per cent, those to non-European languages are down by 21.5 per cent. Are these figures adequate to mark a growing dissinterest among the British toward learning modern foreign languages?

DOWNLOAD POSTER
Topicality Is All In Journalism is the distillation of current affairs, news articles and items of cultural note into poster designs and written commentary. It has been devised to promote the level-headed and rational sentiments made by others in reaction to current happenings – be them local, national, international or universal.
The aim is to have a constant stream of visual output that draws from the range of topics being discussed in the public realm. The posters are designed to play with the conventions of advertisements and other public visual material as a means of presenting unexpected motifs within a mostly commercialised realm of printed communication output.
Visitors are actively encouraged to participate by promoting the opinions they feel an affinity with by printing copies of the posters to display in their area.
The Topicality posters will soon be available to order as digital prints and to download as high resolution digital files in a not-for-profit capacity.
This project is run in-conjunction with the National Diplomatic Rhetoric’s ongoing poster campaign to encourage public thought and debate through material that attempts at a neutral and honest communication of facts and ideas.
