The PAO 2025 II Poster Competition underscores the importance of integrating methodology, judgment, and creativity in design education. More than just an academic exhibition, it was a practical exercise in which research was translated into concrete proposals that look to the future without losing sight of the current context.

The project involved developing narratives using visual elements such as composition, colour and graphic expression. During the process, we explored concepts of visual storytelling, editorial design, the creation of characters inspired by Ecuadorian wildlife, and the use of the leporello format – an accordion-style book system that organises the sequence of scenes. Each proposal included structural planning, storyboard development and the definition of a coherent aesthetic approach that would enable the story to be understood without verbal support.

This exhibition presents the results of the Painting Techniques course, which focuses on the study of colour and composition through acrylic and watercolour. In acrylic, students explore materiality, gesture and light through textures and fragmented brushstrokes, reinterpreting works inspired by Impressionist figures such as Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne, as well as other contemporary artists. In watercolour, the work centres on synthesis and transparency. Portraits of figures from the worlds of music and cinema, landscapes and conceptual works are constructed through the controlled use of glazes, in which water defines a sense of depth and expressive intent in every stroke.
The exhibition “Encounters on Canvas and Paper” showcases the technical mastery achieved by the students during the second term of the PAO 2025 programme, highlighting their ability to navigate between the density of pigment and the subtlety of transparency. This exhibition consolidates the technical and conceptual foundations necessary for their application in future disciplines such as editorial design, illustration and art direction.

The poster brings together the research carried out by the students on three commercial films inspired by themes from mythology, philosophy and science respectively. For each film, rather than providing a synopsis, the poster highlights the mythological, philosophical or scientific concept on which it is based. The poster includes a QR code that takes you to a video uploaded to YouTube, which contains information on the three films along with the students’ findings regarding their mythological, philosophical and scientific elements.

The Fortican project took first place in 5MinPitch 2025, a space where our students put their talent and innovation to the test. Fortican, developed by Doménica Chávez and Nicolás Álvarez, Product Design students, consists of a body system that protects dogs from canine attacks. Designed with resistant materials and using the Design Thinking methodology, it guarantees safety and ergonomics, making it a proposal with great potential for market impact. During the event, Graphic Design projects were also presented, such as the visual communication strategy for ASPYBAND, and Media Production projects, such as the short film País de campeonas (Land of Champions) and the feature film Año Nuevo, Año Viejo (New Year, Old Year). 5MinPitch and the IDEAR Fair reaffirm that student creativity at FADCOM knows no bounds: this is where solutions for a more humane, inclusive, and sustainable future are born.
