Nani sulle spalle di giganti

Dwarfs on the shoulders of giants

Scuola Internazionale di Comics of Milano presents an exhibition of the graphic works created by the students of the first year of the three-year graphic design course. The theme is "Dwarfs on the shoulders of giants", inspired by the famous quote from the French philosopher Bernard of Chartres.
During Graphic Design History course, students were encouraged to reflect on tradition and innovation in this field, taking inspiration from the past not as slavish imitation but rather analysing the work of the masters, in order to develop their own style and contribute to progress in the field of design. The aim was to promote students' creative autonomy, encouraging them to explore new ideas and artistic approaches.
