SYMPOSIUM 2024
Takeaways from a two-day presentation by MAGCD Year 2 students
Students whose work I responded to and why:
Yesim Tuzun – Carbon Pixel book, red
An elegant enquiry, inspiring execution, loved the final book. SImple way of not only producing an academic research equiry using Graphic communication design, but making a different with it.
Banruo Chen – Gentrificatin of streets in China, stencils as protest
One of my favourites of the two days, and I won a copy of her written piecein the raffle! A really good presentation.
Yuqing Lei – Knife, equivalence. I didn’t quite get this, but i loved it nonetheless. One of the best presentations I saw, simple, she didn’t need to go in to lines and lines of explanation. The visuals did the talking.
Stella Gong – Roalty Free Image picture album.
Interesting.
Siqi Hu – Sensory paper.
Fantasuic presentation.
Hazel Graham – Magasine design and feminism.
WOW.
Varada Rage – Not a Typeface
Not being afraid of how type deisgn can be intimidating and use it as an oportunity to break the rules and have fun.
A research environment can be scary!
Mac Clapper – Rot
The honesty of his MAGCD journey and enquiry, the ups and downs, the genetral comment of rot.
