Overview

Art direction has become an essential discipline for turning ideas into coherent, meaningful visual messages. This course is aimed at graphic designers who want to expand their practice toward a more conceptual and strategic approach and lead creative processes in interdisciplinary environments.

About the Program

In addition to delving into the conceptualization and execution of visual projects, this program integrates visual research as a key tool for generating ideas and backing up proposals. By analyzing trends, contexts, and visual references, you will learn to incorporate them into your creative processes to give them greater depth and relevance.
