“What does it take to be a good graphic designer these days?” ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne has long been recognised for its role in advancing Switzerland’s tradition of leading graphic design. Be it books, catalogues, magazines, posters, typography or digital projects, ECAL graphic design students demonstrate their mastery of elegance and subtlety. In this exhibition, HKDI is delighted to bring to Hong Kong around 70 ECAL student projects originating from the Bachelor Graphic Design and Master Art Direction programmes in a celebration of creative exchange between the two institutions. Presented in collaboration with ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne.
