Matt Mitacek
CVTo me visual communication-in architecture and graphic design-has often been about the challenge of paradoxes; aesthetics vs. functionality or minimalism vs. chaos, and still visual communication is the most transcendental thing I’ve stumbled upon in life. It’s a constant excuse to stay curious, learn something new and to interact with and observe society, media and people in general. And somewhere in between that I focus on the details, the process and keeping it simple.
The course is ideal for beginners, employers, entrepreneurs as well as people in their designing skills. Based on the past experience half of the students have a strong passion for design however didn't get a chance yet to create anything touchable so far. The other half are students already immersed in designed with decent drawing and illustration skills but no significant digital graphics skills. The main focus is on Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

Illustration Practice
2015
I found out many new things about compositions, colors and painting methods, which helped me to improve my creative, visual and drawing skills. I met lovely people from all over the world and I also learnt something about their culture. I had lot of fun, gained unforgettable memories, and explored a beautiful city – all thanks to European Summer School.
Advertising and PR

I had the most creative and eye-catching opening summer this year at ESS where the classes were a perfect mix of understand brand building, concepts innovation in a setting that was relaxed and energising at the same time. The ESS crew was incredibly fun and friendly making the process of exploring culture and activities are Prague an englightening experience.
Design Thinking Bootcamp
2015
Besides massive new illustration skills, I learned how much you can achieve in only two weeks. I met likeminded people who are open minded and fun to hang out with.The summer school helped me to develop professionally, but most of all it gave me more self esteem in this field of work.
