The two sessions revolve around the importance of art direction in relation to visual communications products. Helpful suggestions will be provided pertaining to the conception of key creative ideas in the world of fashion/life-style magazines toward the communication of social issues.

Featuring guest speakers and moderators who’ve garnered more than 10 years of experience in producing visuals for newspapers, magazines and other cultural publications, the talks will engender insights into the creative process, visualisation and observation skills – all important elements to consider in visual storytelling.
