- Priority will be given to students enrolled in the first year of the Bachelor in Communication Design, followed, in the following order, by L and LM students (always) in course in Communication Design and, finally, the rest of the interested students of the School of Design, will also be taken into account average exams. In the case of equal ranking, the criterion of the order of arrival of the participation request will be applied.
Each applicant must specify the session of preference (Session 1: June 7-10, 2021; or Session 2: June 15-18, 2021). - Topics:

Description of the initiative
An experience in the analogue field will be proposed to develop the ability to think graphic design in its modular and spatial dimension and as a three-dimensional object, focusing on the relationship between matter (two-dimensional support) and the analogue intervention that shapes it (concrete graphics).
Students will thus be able to experience a design path that will lead them - through a process of progressive simplification - to translate the graphic sign into the third dimension and will allow them to acquire the techniques for making models and prototypes.
In particular, the final output involves the creation of graphic-expressive "totems".
The activity will take place in the classroom and in-person in two 4-day full immersion sessions (7-10 June 2021 and 15-18 June 2021) and will involve a maximum of 25 students for each session.
