What does the second year involve?

Creative excellence is our leitmotiv.
What is yours?

With finesse and precision, our students learn to analyse requests and adapt their response while asserting their style.

Faced with the demands and rigour imposed by a set of specifications, they put their artistic skills and graphic identity to work on a wide range of projects supervised by professionals in the field.

Seminars, workshops, collaborative projects… Challenge yourself on a daily basis to consolidate your skills, develop your personal graphic style and create a portfolio that reflects your image.
