2. Background information
The development of technology and the consumer society has significantly expanded the field of visual communications. The "good design" of a product, packaging, marketing and communication tools, or of shelves in a shop, often constitute the added value which makes a customer select a product from many similar and competing ones.
To further Slovenia’s growth into a communicatively efficient society with a rich spatial culture and a good quality of life, we established the Brumen Foundation in 2003. Named after Jože Brumen, a pioneer of Slovene design and one of its most prominent representatives, the Foundation believes its mission is to promote young professionals (in terms of practice and theory) and establish criteria of excellence to guide and help designers, clients, and customers in the broader sense. The work of the Foundation focuses on organising the Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications (BSVC), a biennial overview of Slovene visual communications design assessed by an international jury, whose members present their own work in a series of lectures and an exhibition called the International Design Event (IDE).
The Brumen Foundation is an independent, non-profit institution, organised as a legal entity under private law in accordance with the Institutes Act, with founders, management board, and start-up capital.
Founders: Riko, Talum.
Management Board: Petra Černe Oven, Radovan Jenko, Žare Kerin, Tomato Košir, Matevž Medja, Ranko Novak, Peter Skalar.
Start-up capital: €8.345

3. Program Description
The International Design Event (IDE)
A broad high-profile cultural event with the most prominent international visual communications designers showing their work at an exhibition, and giving free lectures. International jurors from previous biennials: Bo Linnemann, Bruno Monguzzi, Jean-Françoise Porchez, Rick Poyner, Wieczyslaw Wasilewski (2003); Anna Berkenbusch, Max Bruinsma, Erik Spiekermann, Aleš Najbrt, Piotrek Mlodozeniec (2005), Pierre Bernard, William Drenttel, Jessica Helfand, Cyprian Kościelniak (2007).
The members of the jury of the 4th Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications, lecturers and international designers are: Peter Bilak, Andrzej Klimowski, Mark Porter, Alan Záruba.
The International Design Event coincides with the Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications to allow direct comparisons of the standards, perceptions and achievements of Slovene and international design.
3rd Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications (BSVC)
A biennial overview of the best Slovene design. The submitted works are first reviewed by a national jury that selects the entries to be presented at the exhibition, which can then compete for the prizes awarded by the international jury. The jury has four days to assess the works (arrival day - first viewing of the exhibition; 2nd day – deliberations; 3rd day – lectures and the opening of the exhibition of the international jury; 4th day – jury report and award ceremony). The international juries of the 1st and the 2nd Biennial have introduced new international standards into Slovenia, bringing top quality creativity and persuasiveness in witty and intelligent design comparable to contemporary trends in international graphic design. The criteria of evaluation and assessment continue to develop, which we will also promote at the coming 3rd Biennial.
National jury (award winners of the 3rd Biennial): Gsus Ajax, Aljoša Bagola, Radovan Jenko, Matej Koren, Tomato Košir, Katarina Mrvar, Ranko Novak, Primož Pislak, Tomaž Plahuta, Vladan Srdić, Slavimir Stojanović, Žiga Testen, Robert Žvokelj
International jury: Peter Bilak (SK, NL), Andrzej Klimowski (UK, PL), Mark Porter (UK), Alan Záruba (CZ).,
4. Project Justification
Both the 4th Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications and the International Design Event are broad, high profile cultural events. The latter presents the best in international visual communications.
As there is a gap in Slovenian visual communications, the exhibition and lectures are key ways of informing the public on international design trends. The event introducing the top international designers is in two parts, focusing on presenting their work and introducing them in person through lectures to provide insight into their working methods, and intellectual and creative approaches.
Key goals:
- presenting the works and rationale of the leading international professionals and theorists in the field of visual communications
- benchmarking perceptions and achievements of Slovenian and international design
- presenting good practices and the significance of good design
- establishing criteria of excellence and quality in visual communications design
- informing the professional, the business and economic sector, and students in art, humanities, marketing and ecomonics programs of the significance of quality design
5. Description of the audience.
As the participants are inernationally acclaimed professionals, the event is attractive to both the professional and general public. We expect at least 2,700 people to visit the exhibition of the International Design Event. The last Biennial attracted 5,700 visitors.
