The Graphics Gallery
As part of their final major projects, students of the Colchester School of Art, were aske to develop a concept that visually represented the idea and motivation behind conversations; both socially and culturally. The ‘Art of Conversation’ explores the visual relationship between varying modes of communication and what the process of this means to a graphic designer. Students needed to develop these ideas using a preferred specialist approach in a unique and engaging fashion, drawing on the skills they had experienced in their first year of study
