The course is tailored for curators and cultural producers that are keen to acquire basic graphic design skills in order to create their own graphic material or collaborate in a better way with designers.

From the manipulation and combination of shape, color, imagery, typography and space, the participants will develop skills to translate their ideas into a visual language creating a cohesive visual identity for their exhibitions or events.

They will learn and experiment with design software like Photoshop and InDesign and at the same time, will acquire basic notions of graphic design and printing. Finally, the students will develop and realize different graphic material such as invitation, brochure, exhibition title and information panels.
