ETIC_Algarve celebrates Design Day!

ETIC_Algarve celebrates the International Design Day with the realization of “Design Day”, an event dedicated to this creative area, in its professional aspect.

On April 27, 2023, the school based in Faro will promote lectures, exhibition of works and networking.

This date has been celebrated since 1995 to recognize the importance of Design as a form of visual communication and its contribution to global culture, and is an opportunity for the designer community around the world to come together.

The guest speakers are three Portuguese communication designers whose work has had an international impact: Miguel Neiva, creator of ColorADD, a color identification system for colorblind people that is being implemented worldwide; Artur Filipe, freelance illustrator and trainer at ETIC_Algarve; and Sandra Lopes, Creative Director at the multi-award-winning agency Kobu.

The lectures will have a common theme: “creative pathways”, and will be followed by questions from the audience. The event will end with a networking moment, promoting the close contact of students with the labor market, something that characterizes the philosophy of this school.

The “Design Day” is an idea of the Trainer Rita Sampaio developed in collaboration with ETIC_Algarve, with the creation of the visual identity by André Cortes, a graduate of the Communication and Multimedia Design course of this school.

The event is open to all professionals, students and curious about this topic.

Registration is free, but mandatory, as placesare limited to the capacity of the room.
