Grafill Moving Image and Grafill Illustration invite you to a seminar filled with inspiring talks centered around the art of picture making, storytelling, and how to create new and meaningful concepts and illustrations.The goal for this event is to inspire participants to take their own style seriously and to seek inspiration beyond known and established tropes prevalent in the entertainment industry today. We want to contribute to a movement towards the unknown and encourage unique voices to shine!
Throughout the day, lecturers will speak about how they have tackled the challenge of conformity and give us insight to their own creative process in the hopes of sparking audience’s confidence in making new and exciting choices in their work.
The lectures will have a particular focus on how to cultivate your own creative perspective and visual expression, and how this valuable journey can enlighten the artist, the artwork, and the audience.
The event is comprised of three engaging lectures by some of today’s best designers and finishes with a panel debate with all lecturers, with time set aside for questions from the audience at the end.
Although the lecturers share a common background in concept art and visual development in animation, the lectures contain a more philosophical and cognitive approach more than discussing specific techniques and is therefore relevant for a diverse creative audience.
If you are someone involved with picture making in any sense – from film, games, books, comics, illustrations, or design, and regardless of if you work as a professional, student or hobbyist then this seminar is for you! If you want to learn more about how to create better images that feel like you, then we hope to see you at this event.
