The Master in Art Direction programme is no longer offered at ECAL. We refer to ECAL’s two new master programmes in Photography and Type Design. The online registration is open until 13 April 2021.
The Master in Art Direction (MAAD) is part of ECAL/Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne in Switzerland. The programme focuses on contemporary editorial practices with the opportunity to “major” in photography or type design. Students are encouraged to create and produce unique content in order to develop their own visual language. The programme motivates and puts emphasis on “storytelling”: building a narrative, editing and laying out content, creating sequences via printed and/or virtual matter.
Each student applying for the Master must be specialized in either graphic design or photography. He or she must be autonomous and efficient. To integrate the program, it is imperative to have a clear idea of what one expects of the training and what one seeks to deepen their own practice.
The programme gives the opportunity for students to participate in a diverse range of experiences, from lectures, workshops to semester projects, in which they work with some of the best international experts. The two year programme ends with a master thesis and a practical project. Finally, the MAAD calls for curious, dynamic and ambitious students who are eager to explore and combine the fields of photography, graphic design and type design.
The team is led by Milo Keller (photography) and Matthieu Cortat (type design) and consists of lecturers: Linus Bill, Bruno Ceschel, Roland Früh, Claus Gunti, Marie Lusa, François Rappo, Lonneke van der Palen. Assisted by: Leonardo Azzolini, Maxime Guyon, Frederik Mahler-Andersen. Visiting lecturers are regularly invited to do workshops and present their work.
