We have been on a lovely study trip to Berlin. Our focus has been to visit some agencies that deal with graphic design and visual communication. That is why we have allied ourselves with our good friends from Formal Settings, who have used their network to get us access to visits and presentations at Basics09, Studio Pandan, Dan Solbach and Studio Bank. We got an insight into different design processes and considerations about their different tasks and projects. There was time for questions and a good dialogue. Because what does it actually mean to work with visual communication? The question is best answered with an insight into how it goes in practice. So thanks to everyone who shared their experience. In between the study visits, we went to some nice and relevant exhibitions. Thanks to everyone for a good trip and to Per Andersen for the special documentation.
