This is the fourth national meeting between professionals from different branches of illustration and graphic design and students from Art Schools and Higher Schools of Design to be held in Zaragoza.
From ENCUENTRAZOS 2016 we intend to do the same as in previous editions:
PROVIDE the opportunity for students of the Higher Cycles of Illustration and Advertising Graphics and the Degree in Graphic Design to learn first-hand about the real, day-to-day experiences of professional illustrators and graphic designers. Anecdotes, advice, recommendations, jokes...
SHOW The students will be given a wide range of technical and formal possibilities, as well as the wide range of genres and sectors in which illustrators and graphic designers currently work, presenting them with different professional options and alternatives as future opportunities.
OVERVIEW the rigid academic barrier by linking the Schools and their students to the professional field and to the latest trends, thus meeting the needs of teachers in this professional field for continuous updating.
ENCOURAGE the exchange of academic and extra-academic experiences between the different Art Schools and Higher Schools of Design. To promote the establishment of links between students, teachers and professionals of illustration and graphic design by creating a forum for future meetings.
