Designers for Children: Light Up the Poster

What if the most important thing when creating a poster isn’t what you add, but what you remove? In this design experiment, participants will work entirely in reverse—instead of layering, they will subtract, uncover, and seek the light hidden beneath the surface of old posters. They will discover that white is not emptiness, but a space that gives images the power to breathe. Participants will create an original poster that can decorate their room or become a unique gift. Come and discover that sometimes the most interesting things emerge precisely from what you let disappear. The workshop is led by graphic designer Tereza Saitz.
