THE SYMPOSIUM IS SOLD OUT

We are excited to be hosted this year by the “Schule für Gestaltung Basel” (Basel school of design). The school and its students have influenced the international graphic design community since its founding. Our symposium fits perfectly in this creative environment.

The three previous symposiums have been a great success. We are looking forward to repeating the experience and seeing you again in Basel.
