International Graphic Design – an opportunity
Pentagram, Landor, Meta Design, and The Chase: these are among the big names in Graphic Design currently working internationally! With globalization, many companies are starting to expand their activities abroad. A recent study from the Association of Graphic Designers (AIGA) highlights that many companies are seeking graphic designers who can understand and represent different cultures. This emphasizes the importance of developing skills that can enable you to work internationally.
For 40 years, ECV has been working to help students understand the international aspects of graphic design through its pedagogy. ECV has decided to go a step further by offering a program fully taught in English, enabling students to meet creative individuals from all around the world.
