“Script is language. Language is communication, and communication is the key to successful intercultural exchange.” — Ben Wittner and Sascha Thoma, course tutors

The international student population in the GDVC program allows us to offer Intercultural Design as a unique course in Berlin. It teaches students to utilize various script systems such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Hindi, and others, as well as how to accommodate culture-specific needs. The posters shown here derive from one of several course assignments that ask students to apply different script systems in order to communicate a given message.
