"The insurrection of..." (workshop)

This year, I was invited for the 3rd time to lead a 5 days workshop for master students at ECV Provence.


I asked the students to design a black/white DIN A1 poster. They had to use typography as the main tool to produce the visual (words are the image).
The headline had to be an original design or a modified font and to play with legibility: I wanted them to experiment and produce something else than consensual "typography on photography" posters or "big fonts on neutral background" minimalist designs.
The way they were authorized to use images was strictly defined: it had to bring something to the typographic layout.

The whole process of designing the poster and fonts was based on my own practise.


Posters, in order of appearence:
01. Noémie Chardon, "Bitching, Jung Food, or the insurrection of trash design"
02. Ghjuvan Dumenicu Aletti, "The destructuring: the insurrection of mind"
03. Marie Bechade, "Esprit coupé: l'insurrection à la crème psycho-coco"
