Sign painting workshop with Hélène Marian

Sign painting workshop with Hélène Marian

with Hélène Marian

Analogue workshop led by type designer and letterer Hélène Marian with 1st and 2nd year students. A week of big-scale painted letterings, during which the students tamed the brush and invested space to its furthest limits. The tangible, finished space: that of the written surface, as well as the one in which they inscribed themselves, breaking the silence of the room with a stream of words traced and painted by hand.

Yearbook

TYPE DESIGN

Yearbook

with Nejc Prah

In October 2021, the Master Type Design welcomed Nejc Prah for a one-week workshop. Being in a masters program is a special time, both personally and professionally. To keep a memory of it, the students were invited to create a Yearbook. First years and second years were assigned into pairs and asked to make a contribution about their partner. Drawings, collages, letterings, doodles, patterns, 3D-modelling, … Experimentations and explorations were encouraged. It resulted into a colourful and joyous publication, displaying a diversity of characters and approaches. After a collaborative effort for the production on the last day, each student got a copy, as a memory.
