We live, research and teach in a visual world, flooded with ever-changing stimuli. When engaging with an audience, be it a professional or uninformed audience, judgmental or sympathetic, we compete against similar materials.

We at Masters of Design recognize the importance of the visual element and its ability to strengthen one's stand in this competition. We seek to harness our experience and professional abilities to improve the visibility of presentations, posters and documents, assisting lecturers and researchers in their academic endeavors, and to create strong brands for academic units of all levels, so they may standout and be recognizable in the vast academic world.

For over a decade, Guy has been conducting workshops for faculty and graduate students, in a wide variety of academic settings.
