Course Description
Textile Design Presentation synthesises your design skills to identify, develop and communicate your personal brand, practice direction and final portfolio.
In this course you will research various methods used by contemporary textiles practitioners and use this knowledge to express your own ideas and consider appropriate methods to present your textile design outcomes. Presentation formats may include: live performance, fashion shows, an exhibition, installation, showroom, display, video, digital and other emerging platforms.
The aim of this course is to identify, analyse and reflect upon various methods of presenting textile ideas that are relevant to diverse contexts. You are encouraged to collaborate with peers from textiles, fashion and from other disciplines as a part of discovering different approaches and methods for presenting creative practice outcomes. The course culminates in the presentation of your own textile outcomes at a professional standard. The resulting presentation, regardless of form, should be suitable to communicate your work to industry/peers and to position your emerging design practice within a broader context.
