Wolfgang Weingart Workshop! Swiss new wave design explored

This weeks visual language workshop was focused on Wolfgang Weingart and the Swiss new wave, after viewing and discussing his work students created new digital images inspired by his original style. To generate text we also looked at the work of experiemntel artist ‘Jenny Holzer’ who created the ‘truisms’ project.

here’s what Gemma a level 6 student had to say…

“Wednesdays afternoon workshop focusing on the style of graphic designer Wolfgang Weingart was extremely helpful to me as a designer. The focus of the workshop was to analyse the graphic style of Weingart and then use this influence to create your own piece of work.

By partaking in this workshop I found it beneficial to me and my work as sometimes as a designer you can get a little bit stuck on the same style of work, which can get a bit repetitive! As a student it’s a great tool to practice other graphic design styles so that you can use them when you need them, rather than being restricted to the one style you know.

The Wolfgang Weingart workshop has added another graphic design style to my portfolio, making it another tool I can use when it comes to new clients and briefs!”
