Six years ago, the EASD de Ourense yearbook was born at the request of its students. It is distributed free of charge among the school community and forwarded to companies, academic institutions and organizations linked to the areas of the specialties of the School's training offer; Artistic Photography, Illustration, Artistic Cabinetry, Interior Design and Graphic Design.
The continent, different in each delivery, is devised in its naming, design and layout by the student of the Editorial Design subject of the Higher Courses in Graphic Design, from among whose proposals one is selected annually. This is the authorship of Andrés González Abril. Demo summarizes well the nature of the publication in its sense of proof, first attempts, although some works already have a high level of maturity and professionalism, as can be seen in the End of Career Projects published here.
The content is a selection of the work done by the students of the different specialties of the School, both those who are studying, and those who have already finished and become professionals, but also articles from the School's teaching staff and external collaborators. In this respect, the yearbook intended from its beginnings to be a means of projecting the School to the outside world, of connection with the professional, cultural and artistic sphere, seeking the collaboration of authors of recognized prestige at a local, national and international level. In this same issue we have the privilege of having an excellent article by Andrew Howard, one of the subscribers to First Things First, the relevant manifesto on the ethics of design. In the past we also had one of the greatest references in typographic creation, Dino Dos Santos, the Bahian professor and designer Marcos Vinicius de Souza, the curator and art critic Xosé Antón Castro, the designers Xosé Lois Vázquez and Xurxo Baca, the artists Miguel Mosquera and Iván Prieto, the researcher and bibliophile Alfonso Prada, the publicists Manuela Soto and Víctor González, the architect Óscar Gonfer, the illustrator Santy Gutierrez or, also in this issue, the conservator-restorer Xosé Lois Méndez. Thanks to all of them.
A special thank you to the Galician Association of Designers (DAG) whose members have always shown an excellent willingness to partner with us. This time, two of its members contribute with each article; Uqui Permui and the Describ study. On other occasions, Alberto G. Ariza, Marcos Dopico and Óscar Otero also passed through here.
If this media finally succeeds in being a useful instrument for the promotion of our student's work and for the dissemination of the creative and project activity generated at the School, it will be the merit of a collective effort and we can consider the main objectives for which it was conceived fulfilled.
