Composite is an annual journal dedicated to the tools, techniques and technologies that run through the practices of
graphic design and image. A pedagogical tool initiated by Elsa Aupetit and
Christophe Lemaitre at the Campus de la Fonderie de l'Image (France), the magazine puts students in contact with the history of their profession while initiating, in the long term, an effort to document the present. The project is part of material and conceptual logics that may have been those of publications such as
Caractère Noël and
Upper & Lower Case. The nuance here is that the journal's production protocol is an educational project on the history of techniques (and their contemporary uses) during which students meet a selection of French and international professionals—manufacturers, printers, screen printers, graphic designers and artists—renewed each year.
