Using graphic design tools students were tasked to research global issues, working as multidisciplinary practitioners to develop outstanding concepts for visual communication. The theme of the workshop is  Ideas for the Future . The workshop was divided into groups that worked through various fields of interest. Each group had to work on its own assignment, focusing on a singular question for the  Future . Groups explore the subject by visually reviewing, researching, reflecting and reconnecting to political, economic, ecological and social challenges. On the final day, questions for the future will be presented in a collective exhibition of publications, posters, visual essays, objects or even performances.

Contextual Design – BA2 S2 2026

with Adeline Mollard

  Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.

Visual Identity – BA2 S2 2026

with Adeline Mollard

As part of the visual identity course with Adeline Mollard, the students developed a visual identity based on a randomly drawn business card. By appropriating a graphic element and its title, each project offers a singular interpretation of it. Each proposal also involves the selection of a tool linked to the associated event (tattoo machine, sander, lithography equipment, etc.), used as a conceptual and graphic extension of the project. The identity is deployed across a range of formats, from business card to F4 size, including posters, flyers, business cards, as well as an animated poster.
