Masterclass by Team Thursday A letter, a sentence, a book

During this master class, you will form a dynamic editorial team with the other participants; you will create a typographic book together! Dive into the creative design process and think about the content, typography, layout and choice of materials. Making dummies, printing sections, browsing and rearranging pages, putting a book with a spine in a bookcase…. You “get out of the computer” and look at the book in the physical sense. After three days, you have a fully designed file, ready to send to the printer!

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to develop your typographic skills and achieve tangible results within a short time frame.
