The project
For those who want to lead visual language with authority.
The masterclass is designed for designers and creatives who want to elevate themselves to a directorial role. It's an intensive program, taught entirely live by Simone Risi, combining authorial vision, brand strategy and mastery of contemporary tools.
It stands apart from classic academic programs, stuck for decades on the same approaches and tools, because it's born from the real practice of someone working today, internationally, across brand, editorial and contemporary art.
Truly live lessons
Live broadcast lessons, in real contact with all students. No pre-recorded videos: dialogue, questions and immediate feedback.
Built for the future
No approaches frozen for twenty years. A method born from the real practice of today's Art Director, untethered from old academic frameworks.
Technological innovation
Mindful integration of tools and AI in creative processes, without losing authorial thinking.
Eight vertical themes
Each Sunday a specific theme. A progression designed to build real competence, lesson after lesson.
The themes of the program
A universe of themes, a single language.
From strategic thinking to set production, from aesthetics to technology. Many worlds intertwined in a program designed to build complete, contemporary competence.
Beyond the lessons
A program that ends with a real moment.
The masterclass doesn't end with the last lesson. It closes in person, at Gea Vision's Bologna headquarters, with certificate delivery and a real networking evening. And along the way, special guests bring the outside world into the course.
Special guests
Some lessons will be enriched by high-level guests from the Italian scene — professionals who bring their real experience into the course, for direct comparisons on the craft and the profession today.
Official certificate
At the end of the course, a certificate of participation is issued by Gea Vision Creative Studio & Art Gallery. A recognition that certifies the journey and the commitment invested.
Live event in Bologna
The closing is in person, at the physical headquarters of Gea Vision Creative Studio & Art Gallery in the historic center of Bologna. Live certificate delivery and a major networking event with the entire creative network.
