Course Content

As more and more magazines start to offer online content, the question constantly being asked is “which form of media will be the true leader in the future”, paper or digital? This workshop is aiming to breaking down all of the multi-levels involved in getting the fashion word out to the masses. Being in the capital of the Italian fashion industry, students will have an opportunity to examine the many ways of communicating the ideas generated by the fashion world. They will study magazine graphics and layouts, the different job positions within a magazine, and how magazines must generate revenue as well as capture their target audience.

Objectives
