The Pentagram which is located in the Berlin Charlottenburg district is a graphic design company that features in designs such as posters, book covers, advertisement, and packaging design. The Pentagram I visited was in Berlin however there are many other branches in other regions of the world such as London and New York. I really liked the Pentagram as it showed what kind of work they get up too and what it means to be a graphic designer.

The museum of letters shows off a large majority of fluorescent letters on a large scale. Each letter has its own typeface and the way they were gathered from scraps and classed as rubbish is something that makes these letters more vintage. I really enjoyed the visit as it allowed me to look at these different letters dating back from the 60's to more contemporary letters.

The Stazi prison is located in Freienwalder Strasse Berlin, it gives audiences a sense of what the living conditions were within this prison. The cells that the prisoners were small and cold and that they had to live by a numerous amount of physiological l rules such as standing for the large majority of the day and having to sleep in a specific position in a room with no light or sound.

Visit to berlinBerlin was a great opportunity as it had a lot to offer me such as learning and understanding the culture and a bit of the language. From an artistic and academic perspective Berlin has a lot of historical, contemporary and inspirational designs that justify the means of graphic design. The visit allowed me to experience life in Berlin and it gave me a lot of knowledge and understanding about how their ecosystem works. I very much enjoyed the trip and I will use the experience that I learnt and put it into my future designs.
