On November 20, 2024, students from ESART/IPCB’s BA in Communication and Audiovisual Design and MA in Graphic Design took a field trip to the facilities of Estúdio Gráfico 21 and the company L2 – Artes Gráficas, in Lisbon.

As part of the Graphic Production course, the aim of the visit was to deepen their knowledge of the different stages of the graphic process, from design and final art to printing and finishing, in real industrial contexts.

Throughout the day, the 24 students took part in technical presentations, observed offset and digital printing processes, and closely monitored the operation of equipment such as UV varnish machines, cold stamping, laminators, cutters and post-press systems.

The initiative, organized by teachers Isabel Lopes de Castro, Ana do Carmo, Célia Barreto and Rogério Ribeiro, provided a practical immersion in contemporary graphic production flows, reinforcing the link between the content taught and the professional reality of the sector.
