“Documentary (editorial) design: IMAGE - TEXT - CONTEXT - PUBLIC SPACE

In general Visual Communication performs an important communicating role in society and may expand the social dimension of the urban experience. “Visual communication is not only about the design of a legible contextual image but especially also the method by which and the manner in which the image is brought to the notice of the person addressed…” and “Design may perform a communicating part in the ever-changing (European) society”. Designers, imagemakers are trained to perform a creative editing role in complex social environments. Thus designers and imagemakers may perform a bridging function between education, culture, economy and science. An exchange of knowledge and ideas and co-operation in the area of design, visual communication must be aimed at society.

We will research the possibilities and methods to lift up documentary photography in broaden (graphic) form. The term emphasizes the word DOCUMENT. The title of the workshop is IMAGE - TEXT - CONTEXT - PUBLIC SPACE.”
