The workshop on poster graphics with manual techniques focused on collectively exploring craftsmanship and experimental graphic design techniques based on a specific design attitude. The guiding concept of this workshop was deconstruction.

In the workshop, we primarily engaged with manual techniques such as montage/collage, hand lettering, and experimental printing techniques (e.g., stamps, décalcomanie, copy-art), occasionally complementing them with digital tools when necessary. This resulted in independent poster designs. The aim was to comprehend the design principles and ideas of deconstructive graphic design and interpret them in our own way. By combining analog and digital techniques, we discovered new possibilities for design and expanded our methodological horizon in graphic design.
