Not Only Books is…
Your own voice
International course.
6 weeks long. Three editions (2018, 2019, 2021).
A course to start the search for our own graphic, plastic voice. The way to communicate with the world graphically, of course, being ourselves. What we must, at the end of this course, get is to create an illustration that represents you, as a professional and of which we can feel proud when we see it in the final catalog.
From Your Own Voice to an Illustrated Book
Advanced international workshop.
14 weeks long. One edition (2020).
A workshop that was planned and requested by the participants of the first course Your Own Voice. It is proposed as a natural process to advance step by step, offering present and future professionals what they need to achieve the objective of creating a quality book that can have a place in the market. The objective is to make a book project: an album, an illustrated book, for children or adults, an artist book … To carry out and analyze a project so that it is ready to present to an editor. Four images (including the cover) and the story-board are enough for a publisher or a contest.
