SoHaPi students' workshop: "Visual Story Telling"
A two days workshop on visual communication was held at the DPZ on the 6th and 7th June 2017.We were really lucky to have Tina Koch from Mediomix to teach us the basics of visual communication and introduce us to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. We are now working on this new knowledge to deliver better posters, presentations at conferences and figures for publications!
