About DesignWorkshops

DesignWorkshops has a simple philosophy. The best learning experiences are created when a small number of students work intensively with an enthusiastic and
skilled teacher.

Oraganized in 2007, DesignWorkshops provide a unique learning opportunity for graphic designers who want to improve their skills in a post-graduate environment.

DesignWorkshops begin with a collaborative portfolio evaluation. The instructor and student review the work together and talk about the student's design abilities and interests. After choosing an area of design for concentrated study, they create a project assignment to be completed during the remainder of the eight week term. Each week, progress will be discussed in class reviews as well as in individual meetings with the instructor. DesignWorkshops end with a final critique and an exhibition of student work.

  • Composition
