Professional software to draw, for image management, layout, and for the development of interactive presentations and animation will be taught. Participants will also be guided to the rediscovery of manual ability as it is a necessary and essential component of a designer’s profession: relationship with objects, materials, life scale dimensions.
The third and final journey will be a design laboratory that foresees the contribution of various graphic designers on a strategic and up-to-date theme for the development of a country like Italy: communication for the promotion and improvement of a territory, its distinctiveness, its values, its roots and traditions, its vocation and development perspective.

Course dates: 30th June - 25th July 2008
Course language: English
Course timetable: Monday to Thursday, all day
Total course hours: 95
Course Objectives:
In this course, a 95 hour summer programme, we consider the development of an independent approach to design to be an essential teaching aim.
Participants will already have formed many of their own preferences and affiliations, and one principal objective of our teaching is to reinforce this individual quality in order to assist all students to realize their personal potential, in the context of exhibition design. As well as group seminars, intensive one-to-one studio tutorials are the course’s main teaching technique, forming part of an integrated interdisciplinary programme of theoretical and practical inputs.
Projects are devised as vehicles for communication by paying particular attention to circumstance and content, while affording contrast in scope and typology. Through wide-ranging discussion, debate and reference, encouraging investigation and research in fields varying from art to design, architecture and publicity, we achieve one of our main aims - the maximization of communicative efficiency.
Students will be guided from the initial stages of conceptualization of the design within the exhibition space, through the design process to the final realization of the project in model form, focusing on expression and personal development in a rigorous and coherent manner.

Course Objectives:
Accessories represent today an increasingly important dimension in the fashion world. They are fundamental elements to define personality and individual taste. They change the physical image: a face appears different with a hat on, shoes change the way of walking, a belt the shape of the body. A silk scarf gives elegance to a simple suit, a colourful tie accents a grey one. Apart from expressing the uniqueness of a style through accessories, they definitely always have been objects of a highly functional use.
Accessories are worn as a jewel or used as a media for seduction.
Others represent a symbol, a belief or a social prestige. Before people used cloth they already had accessories. Accessories show the époques´ lifestyles.
This course intends to explore the world of fashion accessories from raw materials to the project, passing through cultural issues and trends. With the contribution of professionals who work every day in the fashion. Accessories will be designed and there will be a “mini” practical workshop.
