ZGRAF is an international triennial exhibition of graphic design and visual communications held in Zagreb, Croatia since 1975.
ZGRAF is organised by the ULUPUH, the Croatian Association of Artists of Applied Arts, a Professional Member of Icograda.
Throughout the years, ZGRAF exhibitions have gathered designers, theoreticians and critics in order to discuss essential design issues and design status in contemporary society, including: the importance of design as a profession (ZGRAF 1); the relationships between graphic design and art (ZGRAF 3); the importance of education and the establishment of a design school (ZGRAF 5); the advance of digital technology in design – web design and multimedia as new design segments (ZGRAF 8); and the role and social responsibility of design and designers in the area of advertising (ZGRAF 9).
ZGRAF invites international submissions in two sections: a traditional Review of graphic design production and a special Theme section: Local/Global.
Work submitted for the Review must have been produced between 1 January 2004 and 15 February 2008.
Work for the Theme section may be produced especially for the occasion.
