Atelier Populaire
French for “popular workshop,” the renegade print workshop established at Paris’s École des Beaux-Arts during nationwide protests in France in May 1968. The workshop created new images daily to respond to events.
The posters produced by the ATELIER POPULAIRE are weapons in the service of the struggle and are an inseparable part of it. Their rightful place is in the center of the conflict. To use them for decorative purposes, to display them in bourgeois places of culture or to consider them as objects of aesthetic interest is to impair both their function and their effect.… Read More...

Project 5 (Final)
As This semester finally comes to an end; it started off easy and smooth but on the long run it started to get challenging with the assignments and exams every class threw at me.

Project #5
Entering City Tech has certainly been a whole new world to me. Going from being in a private school, where there are plenty of restrictions and requirements, to finally being solely on my own without much advisement, has most definitely taken a toll on me, but it has also taught me a lot.

I’ve had to get used to doing things … Read More...
