Music for your Eyes! 24/01/2024

Album cover design is a great component of Graphic Design in the modern era, where musicians release their work digitally and need a way to visually brand and identify their works.

To ensure our students are versatile, we train them to create album covers for various artists and styles. This training encompasses a wide range of styles to prepare them for any project that comes their way.

Today, we are excited to share Aline Chong's project, which covers four different artists from the 70s to today, including Funkadelic, Bad Bunny, Snow, and Michael Jackson.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Jeremy Fish Workshop at Marbella Design Academy. 27/10/23

Last week we welcomed Jeremy Fish, an American illustrator and artist based in San Francisco, for a Graphic Design workshop.

Jeremy Fish / Jeremy Fish Artwork gained worldwide recognition thanks to his incredible bold and personal imagery that adorns countless products and walls around the globe, and worked for brands such as Nike Skateboarding.

During the day, Jeremy Fish, who balances his work between fine art and bold commercial illustration, showed our students how to unlock their creativity in drawing and sketching.

Thanks to his workshop and expertise, our students passed from doodling to participating in a unique art piece, in the pure Jeremy Fish style, in just a few hours. And all in a casual and friendly atmosphere.

It was a great day for our students, and we are thankful to Jeremy Fish and the Moments Festival, which made this event possible.

If you like these pictures, visit the Jeremy Fish exposition, "My Mission to Málaga", at the Escuela de Arquitectura de Málaga de la UMA (EAM), which is open until the 18th of November.

It's time to say goodbye to 2022 and welcome 2023!

In order to do so, here is our last 2022 post; a Graphic Design & Media showreel created by our recent graduate Anna Dogadova for our latest expo & graduation party.


"Return To Sender". 14/11/2022

"Return To Sender" is a short movie that Vilma Olsson, 3rd-year Graphic Design & Media student at Marbella Design Academy, presented as her final project!

The film "Return to Sender" takes the viewer back, with a touch of nostalgia, to the olden days, when posting letters was the main means of communication over distance.

Very much inspired by Wes Anderson and Annie Atkins, Vilma created the original film script and her initial storyboards, she built the film set and the many physical props (stamps, passports, packets of cigarettes), as well as created all the animations for the movie (all of which were hand drawn).

With the help of a few Marbella Design Academy students, she then filmed, and eventually edited the movie including her animations, and added her own original soundtrack.

She also created a production company brand "Do Not Disturb" to make her project look even more realistic, as well as an advertising campaign to promote her short movie.

Not only did Vilma graduate with a 1st-Class with Honours grade, but her film is also part of Think Shorts official selection 2022.

If you have a spare 7 minutes, we invite you to sit down, relax, and enjoy a moment of nostalgia with "Return to Sender"

Filed Trips in Málaga! 2 for 1! 17/11/2021

Our 3rd-year Graphic Design & Media students had the pleasure to spend last Friday in Málaga combining two field trips: 'traveling' from the origins of typography to modern-day media.

The 1st stop was the "Antigua Imprenta Del Sur", established in 1925, and which still publishes using the classical printing press method.

José Andrade, master printer and grandson of the original founder, explained to our students how they still run today, using movable types and metal plates.

Thank you Jose for taking the time to do a full demonstration of how the printing presses operate and of the work process is involved.

You can find out more about "La Antigua Imprenta Del Sur" at:  https://www.malaga.es/generaciondel27/2946/antigua-imprenta-sur


The 2nd stop was at the renowned advertising agency "El Cuartel".

With over 15 years behind it "El Cuartel" has a wealth of experience in communicating its client's ideas, using exciting and surprising messages and visuals.

Dana Daboosh, international account manager, welcomed our students, explaining the agency philosophy, and showcasing some of their portfolio projects as well as "work in progress" projects.

Juanka Campos, Art Director, then explained what were the usual tasks and daily "routine" of a graphic designer working in such a professional environment, and gave our students very useful hints of what it is that the agencies are looking for in a portfolio and how to stand out in a crowd.

We would like to thank the "Antigua Imprenta Del Sur" and "El Cuartel" for opening their doors and taking the time to introduce our students to their world.

You can find more information about El Cuartel at https://www.elcuartel.es/


Product package research, the Andalusian way. 13/10/2021

It is great to be able to organise projects for our students that involve site visits that help them discover the rich culture, and beautiful landscapes and towns of Andalusia. As such, we are delighted to work closely with the stunning bodega Descalzos Viejos, located on the edge of the breathtaking cliff of the world-renowned Ronda.

Our 2nd-year Graphic Design students visited it last week as part of their product packaging research and made the most of this fantastic sunny day.

Discovering Ronda, enjoying the sun and breeze on a winery terrace installed in a formerly abandoned XVI century monastery, with a unique view to the cliffs and the valley below, a research field trip could not get better than this.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank the bodega Descalzos Viejos and Flavio Salesi who, as usual, gave us a warm welcome, and provided our students with an unforgettable experience and superb inspiration for their projects.

I created a responsive version as well and I used Adobe XD for this task."

Collage made with Procreate on iPad and other stuff on Photoshop and InDesign"



Don't give up! 03/04/2020

Today we decided to repost a work by Carla, one of our Graphic Design & Media students, originally published on Instagram.
We thought it appropriate to share it with our Facebook community.

"A few days ago I saw a picture of a doctor who was fighting against Corona for so long that his mask had started to cut into his face. His name is Dr. Nicola Sgarbi and he says he is not a hero. And maybe he isn't - I firmly believe that all humanity is fundamentally good and wants to help each other even to the point of exhaustion - but his dedication is still amazing to me. I can't go into a hospital and help there, but what I can do is honor his effort by doing the thing I do best: Drawing. So, hero or not, he is now immortalized. And so is his message.
Don't give up. Never. "

Carla's project are on her instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/letsbethebadguys/

And remember, #staysafe, #stayhome.
