Editorial Design
The course’s structure is derived from the key phases of an editorial project. From the very beginning, we will be working simultaneously in both key areas: Theory and Practice. The theoretical part of the course will always establish a common knowledge base that will then be applied in the same week’s exercise.
The idea behind this model is to base design decisions on theoretical knowledge and to provide orientation and a reliable process to the students.
The practical part of the class aims to create a studio-like atmosphere and provides the framework for the very important step of applying and implementing theoretical knowledge into a design project.
