Visualizing concepts
10:00-12:00 hrs. Conference room 1.
A 2-day workshop in which we will try to translate a concept into an image. An image which is self-explanatory. We shall start working from a text and everyone must choose a moment which they would like to visualize. Something that moves you, causes you concern, confusion... and which the participant has to express in writing. Only then, with that moment or idea well-defined on paper, you can begin to visualize.
The second part consists of realizing with limited tools (without computer) and format. At the end of the workshop each participant will present his work to the group and will discuss all this, contrasting the writing at the beginning and the visual result and checking for communicative consistency or discrepancy between them.

Letters as forms
9:30-11:30 hrs. Conference room 2.
A 2-day workshop exploring new ways of seeing letters as forms. We shall start by borrowing unexpected visual methods to investigate familiar forms, so that we can begin to better understand what it is that defines the very particular visual personality of a font with surprising results. Letterform quite literally becomes a physical experience!
During the second part of the workshop letterforms are further explored through their creative use. We will explore the expressive potential of letters in a series of small typographic compositions. And while intentionally playful the potential for professional application of what is learned is clear and confidence-building.

The Onion
10:30-12:30 hrs. Conference room 3.
A 2-day workshop on developing your creativity and finding a new point of view in reality. All you have to bring is an onion and a camera, laptop, pen and paper, or any other tools you want to work with. The assignment is explained in the first session and right after that the working process will start. At the end of the first session the concepts and first visual ideas will be presented and discussed. The second session will be dedicated to the final presentations.
The story is: we live in a world without onions. It's a new product and you have to design a campaign to introduce the onion in society. You can choose between two options: the real function of the onion (you can cut it, use it for cooking, for its medicinal properties, etc.) or it can be a completely irrational, new product whose funtion is to be discovered. There is an extra option: the onion has become an art piece for artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Claes Oldenburg or any other contemporary artist of your choice. It is then your job to create a concept, a catalogue or a poster for an exhibition.
