It is often said you only truly understand something when you’re also able to explain it. Even though I have no idea if that’s true, I did manage to get to a level where I’m able to teach others something about graphic design.
Since 2018, I have been giving several workshops on the basics of designing a beautiful and readable report, as well as a workshop on Visualising your personal identity. While the latter was just a iteration by Bart and myself on the existing workshop by Mark and Eva, the former one I developed from scratch together with four other students, with whom I gave the workshop two times.
The programma for the Visualising your personal identity workshop.
One part of the workshop involved making a collage to represent your identity.

Every participant ended up with an extensive collage.
The report workshop consisted of three main parts, leading to a nice spread at the end of the day.
My part was about type setting and a bit about grids; these were the seven topics I explained as the basis for putting text on a page nicely.
And I tried to combine theory...
...with examples. The slides were also shared for future reference, which the participants greatly appreciated.
In 2020/2021, we had to move the workshops online. Using a Miro board and breakout rooms, we were able to replace some of the room interactivity with a proper remote alternative.
