Syllabus This curricular unit incorporates diverse knowledge acquired throughout the degree, in an integrated approach applied to the development of fashion projects.
It applies the theoretical knowledge of history, design, marketing, sociology of consumption, psychology of perception and semiotics by practical applicability in the analytical and critical construction of the designal development of a fashion collection with distinct projects duly justified by a business opportunity.
It deepens the methodologies of design design and fashion design, as well as the tools for proper and professional representation and communication of a design product (illustration, technical design, photography, visual programming/ information design, etc.).
Contact with professionals in the area was promoted when useful for the development of projects and for the relationship between the academic world and the professional reality.
