Graduation thesis about Michele Provinciali, Italian designer, or rather a case study on how to become great graphic designers. The research is focused on Provinciali’s method, trying to get what and who had influenced the author and, therefore, shaped his design vision. In addition to a series of interviews, useful to an analysis of his formation and his professional collaborations, the thesis has been the occasion for entirely cataloging and filing Michele Provinciali’s estate, at CSAC, (The Study Centre and Communication Archive), research centre of the University of Parma.
