The primary mission of the masters’ Annual Exhibition is to promote the diversity and excellence of projects developed by students of the Master’s Degree in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects (MDGPE) during the curricular course of the two years of the master’s degree.
As such, it has two main focuses:
- To present the work developed by the students within the scope of the curricular units of the first year.
- And to show the research and development work carried out within the scope of the dissertation, project, or internship in a friendly and inviting format.
By showcasing the student works, we hope to promote not only the individual the students but also and mainly to showcase their work while inspiring others to follow their path.
The in-person showcase despite its limited availability (during the exhbition week at the Museu Gallery at FBAUP) will be archived digitally.
Therefore, a secondary goal of this exhibition is to collect, archive and showcase past students’ work in Graphic and Communication Design Projects, Typography and Font Design Studies, Illustration, Information Design, and Art Direction carried out individually or in groups during the first year. But also to collect and present the research and design results carried out individually during the second year in their more comprehensive range of application and social scientific and technological contributions.
Therefore, the exhibition is intended to result in a platform for presenting and communicating student projects with the rest of the academic community, but above all, celebrating the dedication, innovation, and rigor of our students’ results with the general public.
By holding this exhibition regularly, we hope to have an inspiring vision of the trends and the future of graphic and editorial design that each generation of students will help build.
Together, we will transform this exhibition into a testament to the creativity and impact of design on our society.
