Requirements

The program’s target audience are design students (undergrads and graduate students), professional designers and teaching design faculty with a strong interest in typography, poster design, and letterpress printing. All the tasks are designed to work for both, students and professionals of any level and only require a strong motivation from the participantʼs side.
