India

The process of introduction and orientation with fashion communication is spread over 2 semesters, with subjects like Fashion studies, history and philosophy of design, communication concepts and processes, writing skills, consumer behaviour in fashion, computer applications, graphic design, visual merchandising, photography, and design methodology. This culminates in an integrated term project where students are able to use the software and tools actually used in the industry at the time in order to create their projects. The fifth and sixth semesters is when specialisations come in and there is a greater focus on the core of the course with creative input as well as output. A greater cognition of specialised subjects is gained through a further study of contextual subjects, attending various seminars, and of course through the design projects. During this time students also have to equip themselves with the skills of client interaction, presentation, project management, and finances, in order to turn their design skills into profitable business or acquire high paying job in already established companies.
