“Graphic design, publishing and typography » course
The « Graphic design, publishing and typography » professional degree is the result of collaboration between the University of Reims Champagne Ardennes, the town of Chaumont, the Lycée des métiers Charles de Gaulle and Le Signe, Centre National du Graphisme.
The aim of this degree is to train professionals in graphic and editorial design, capable of mastering all stages of commissioning, within graphic design studios as well as commissioning companies and local authorities.

Four or five workshops are organised each year.

The Book of Sand – Jorge Luis Borges
The aim of this project is to create and produce a collective edition based on a single text. Through this graphic design and editorial work, the following themes will be addressed, implicitly and explicitly: narration, language,
translation, automatic writing, chance, repetition, artificial intelligence, programming and the links between text(s) and image(s).
– Produce a 16-page sequence based on the text of Borges’ short story, using only the Baskerville typeface.
– These 16-page booklets will be bound to form a 16×15 book printed in 50 copies in a single colour : flat gold using a Riso duplicator.
Fanzine Vrac N°1 - February 2022
VRAC is a participatory graphic magazine designed to showcase and promote the work produced by students in URCA’s Editorial and Graphic Design programme in collaboration with a guest artist (graphic designer, illustrator, etc.).
This year Léa Marchet @fondperdu accepted the invitation and proposed a creative approach to the theme : À la chaîne.
The machine is on the move! It stamps, folds, listens and transcribes. It creates shapes and objects out of paper. And mechanical repetition becomes visual poetry.
For this issue of Vrac, the students took it in turns to be designers, workers, machinists and even cogs in a great image-making machine.
