To do so, there are some tricks that can be useful for your own creative process. Throughout this course, discover some of the most important techniques and learn how they can be applied to a diverse range of storytelling articles.

With the help of Karishma Chugani, illustrator, fashion designer, and founder of L’École de Papier, navigate the world of paper cutting and learn how to craft a theater book, a hybrid between a tunnel book and a paper theater. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is flat and yet creates a sense of depth and perspective.
