  FASHION BRAND DESIGN
Aims

The aim of the course is to train designers for the all-round creation of a fashion brand from creating the concept, message, graphics and image through to designing sales outlets or organising events. The disciplines will range from corporate image to the product, packaging, advertising and multimedia, providing extensive all-round design knowledge.

Goals
The course intends to train designers capable of creating everything needed to diffuse and promote the fashion product and to create a coherent style. The end of the 1990s marked a watershed for the fashion world, bringing in great changes on a national and international level which have led to the creation of new scenarios and growing complexity in the sector and its companies. This has made a global creative approach necessary which companies managed to get by without in the past. Interaction between the different fields of creation is the heart and soul, the true essence of fashion. Against this background, the Fashion Brand Designer is a figure of growing importance. The predominant role of visual communication in the sector, clients' increasingly widespread use of technology means that all-round creative minds are needed.
 
Study Plans

Fashion Brand Design is an extensive discipline that ranges from corporate image to the product, packaging, advertising and multimedia, following a global approach to provide extensive all-round design knowledge. The course method is dynamic and effective, including theoretical lessons, practical exercises (group and individual work), lessons on theory and criticism, and meetings with experts from the various artistic and professional fields. The course consists of simulating an all-round communication project and is divided into three phases: ANALYSIS- the brand concept, brand evolution, analysis of the brand meaning, value, function and how it comes across.
