The 2 day workshop was held by Noël Leu and Johnson / Kingston (Ivan Weiss / Michael Kryenbühl). The
students got to exercise their skills in creating digital collages based on strong concepts as well as handmade
typographic headlines. The participants were required to create a poster under the title Popular Problems.
The poster discusses the housing problem in Cairo. There is a large gap between the mass population living in a
dense, heavily trafficked Cairo and the amount of new compounds being built daily, out of reach to those masses.
---
My aim was to visually showcase the strong contrast between dense busy Cairo and the serenity of
the new compounds being built at the outskirts of the city.
