Karl Gerstner's morphological box was the source of ideas for the ParaMat workshop. In the collective design process, the demand for a specific (good) design faded, and all students began to experiment freely and playfully. In eight hours, 24 collectively designed posters were created: three working groups of eight students each designed eight posters in eight rounds.
Each student spontaneously chose one of the more or less meaningful themes (anarchy, XXL, chaos, YouTube, intoxication, etc.) to start the design process. After each round, the poster design was passed on to a member of the group in a clockwise direction. The designs were developed using a set of parameters such as font, relationship, and color. Nothing from the previous round could be deleted, only changed or added.
Everyone had only half an hour to react to the previous design and create a new impulse. At the end of the workshop, everyone was involved in every poster in their own group.
