Werkplaats Typografie

Werkplaats Typografie is a two-year experimental master's course in graphic design. It functions as a research environment wherein participants define the content, aims and conditions of their international independent design practice, and develop their artistic, visual, discursive and practical qualities.
In brief:

• Self-motivated research in applied arts, via content plus form, text plus image, theory plus practice
• Collaborating with leading designers, artists, curators and peers from various countries in the programme’s own renowned building
• Multivocal community providing complete freedom for different voices and views, asking questions and seeking answers
• Research-based design with personal questions, interests and motivations as a starting point
• Pushing the boundaries of a rapidly evolving reality and framework of (conceptual) graphic design
• In-depth theoretical research in the form of critical reflection, excursions and theses
• Studio activities providing hands on experiences via practical assignments and projects for internal and external commissioners including (large-scale) presentations at international platforms and venues
