Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Creative direction is championing the intersection where art direction and aesthetic design meet strategy. As such, the role of Creative Director and Curator is becoming increasingly important across the full fashion and lifestyle sector. This course responds with a focus on visual literacy and aesthetic agility based on contextual understanding, critical thinking and conceptual innovation.

By investigating and innovating cultural and social aspirational narratives, you will develop aesthetic solutions across a range of multi-modal promotional platforms and communication spaces – 2D and 3D, print and digital, photographic and film – meeting the needs of the ever-shifting fashion industry
