Instead of taking an internship I went to the US to study at Rhode Island School of Design. One of the lessons I followed at RISD was the Poster Design Class of Nancy Skolos. I designed several posters. You can see some of the sketches and the final poster that I made. It was all quite different from our lessons in the Netherlands.

The first lesson she gave us a pile of paper cuttings and we had to make a collage every five minutes. At the end of the day she told us to find a subject for a cultural poster and use the five minute collages to make a poster by next week. It was a totally new experience to first make things without thinking and give content afterwards. The time we had for a project was much shorter then I was used to, it was a good training for me.
