Today marks the beginning of the 2-day workshops, however the buzzing hub was cleared to make way for the International Poster Exhibition, to be launched in the evening. Participants involved in the two-day workshops were taken away to different areas of The Lighthouse to work with fantastic, internationally renowned creatives including Studio Moross (London), Colophon (NYC & London), The Rodina (Amsterdam), It’s Nice That (London) and HelloMe (Berlin). Studio Moross began a workshop in rotoscoping, a type of animation in which drawings and mark-making are layered over film and brought to life. Anthony and Edd of Colophon set their group on designing typography inspired by environmental research and found imagery in and around the streets of Glasgow. HelloMe put on a spectacular workshop exploring the beauty and infinite possibility of the black square, inspired by Kasimir Malewitsch’s revolutionary painting “Black Square” (1915) which will result in a publication and pop-up exhibition. Dutch duo The Rodina began an enormous game of dominos by asking participants to create back and white imagery that would then be laid out together in an aesthetically pleasing design-related game, the visual markers of the dominos were created on perceived imperfections and perfections in nature and our built environment, creating intriguing and often bizarre visual pairs. Upstairs It’s Nice That set about teaching their group the wonder of gifs, preparing a series of animations to be played as part of a performance on Saturday night in a live VJ set.
