Course Detail
Eva Kellenberger and Sebastian White, who run their own graphic design studio, will take you on a journey highlighting the different ways of working, forming ideas and using concepts to create a visual language. By looking at your past projects as well as presenting their own, you will examine how an idea is generated, developed and leads to a chain of design decisions.You’ll look at ways of using information to find useful associations, historical parallels and visual metaphors. You will then be set a project individually geared towards breaking your particular habit. A critique will follow short presentations where your tutors will analyse whether the choice of typographic voice, artdirected images and production methods best conveys the idea.
