We will develop a complete project including the diverse aspects of graphic design, from the elaboration of the concept to the analysis of the visual, formal and cultural aspects.

We will create a project from the formulation of a concept and analysis of the values, up to the accomplishment of a mood board, the formal representation 2D and 3D, and the manufacture

of models. The capacity of research and the expression of ideas will be valued.
