3,000 participants will wear the T-shirt designed by Egen Meyer, a student at IED Barcelona, at the Matagalls Montserrat Endurance Walk

For the second year running, IED Barcelona has collaborated with the Club d’Excursionista de Gràcia (CEG) to design the graphic for the official T-shirt of the 46th edition of the “Travessa Matagalls-Montserrat” Endurance Walk. This non-competitive 83.4 km sporting event will be held on 13 and 14 September, with the participation of 3,000 people and more than 300 volunteers.

Representatives of the CEG selected Egen Meyer’s design from among several proposals submitted by second-year Graphic Design students.

The student’s creation, featuring three human figures reaching the summit, reflects the values and spirit of this walk, in which sustainability and environmental protection play a predominant role.

Alan Ramírez, a teacher at IED, was once again charged with supervising this project.
