From Posters to PCBs: A Graphic Designer’s Guide to Circuit Art


video upload by Synthux Academy

"PCBs aren’t just for circuits—they can be art. In this video, I’ll break down the materials that make up a PCB—solder mask, copper, FR-4, and silkscreen—and how you can use them creatively for synth faceplates, keychains, and more.

I’m also launching a residency program and workshops for designers, illustrators, and artists who want to explore PCB design as a creative medium. Sign up for the newsletter to get updates:
