The Shoreditch Design Triangle has been championing east London's creative industry since 2008, and as part of its 10-year anniversary, the Love & Hate workshop offered local design talent and enthusiastic bystanders the opportunity to collaborate in designing high impact posters reacting to prompts such as 'Mondays', 'school', 'bicycles' etc. The only restriction imposed was time...

Each poster was given three hours, to be precise. Cue an extraordinary amount of coffee, plenty of heated debates and a huge amount of creative energy flowing around the small Shoreditch studio, where designers huddled in shifts to execute design magic in the time available.
