“IDEA Interprets: Friend or Foe” Student Poster Exhibit at The Ferry Building Gallery March 6 & 19, 2025
Mark your calendars!
You’re invited to meet the artists (IDEA School of Design second-year students) at the opening of this year’s IDEA Interprets poster show on March 6 and March 19, 2025, from 6-9 PM at The Ferry Building Gallery.
IDEA Interprets explores a single theme through a series of illustrative and typographic posters. The theme of the 2025 show, “Friend or Foe”, has been imaginatively interpreted by second-year illustration and design students.
The assignment was a joint project for Pascal Milelli’s IDES 235 Illustration Studio I class and Heather Jalbout’s IDES 247 Survey and Principles of Typography.
“The four-year Bachelor of Design degree at CapU is career-focused and taught by industry professionals. Our objective is to prepare you for a career doing what you love, whether that’s illustration, branding, interactive design, graphic design, character design, art direction, UX or UI, editorial design, publishing, digital media and more.”
Students’ 11x17 posters will be available for purchase. The poster show and sale help to support the development of emerging local artists.
IDEA Interprets is an annual exhibition by Capilano University Bachelor of Design students which runs every spring at The Ferry Building Gallery located at 1414 Argyle Ave, Ambleside Landing, West Vancouver, British Columbia.

About the courses
IDES 235 Illustration Studio I introduces students to illustration as visual communication. Students learn the process of completing an illustration project through concept, sketches, client approval, and finished work, and begin to develop style and voice. Skills are developed using various mediums and techniques including contemporary painting and life drawing.
IDES 247 Survey and Principles of Typography provides students with a thorough understanding of typography as a core element of visual communication. The evolution of type from the mid-1400s to the present day is discussed in the context of the technology of the time and its influence on letterforms. Students gain a grounding in the principles of best typographic practice as they apply to print and digital mediums. Instruction in design-related software supports the course.
