EXHIBITIONS

You could take yourself along to Proud Galleries for two reasons; to view the new identity and how it has been applied and to see an exhibition of illustrative work by Malcolm White. White is self-taught as an illustrator and is presently working for London ad agency Ammirati Puris Lintas. From 7-28 October.

Venue: 5 Buckingham Street, The Strand, London WC2.
