The launch of the sixth Cardiff Design Festival saw designers across Wales exhibiting the best of their talent. The month-long festival has a packed programme of events to involve the public with workshops, exhibition and live music.
As part of the festival, empty shops in the Royal and Morgan arcades in the city centre have been given over for exhibition space to showcase an array of designs. From furniture, graphics and product design to interactive and multimedia design, the festival is a combination of grassroots and contemporary designs.
Organiser of the festival, Olwen Mosely promises that this year's festival would be the "biggest and the best." She said:
"Every year the festival is getting bigger and better. It's about time that we acknowledge that Wales has some of the best design and make a shout about it to the world. We need more people to come to the events and recognize how design is an intrinsic part of our lives."
Archit Chopra and Shruti Tripathi graduated from Cardiff School of Journalism with an MA in international journalism.
