The aims of this module are to: learn basic elements of creating narratives for the story industry, to include film, TV, stage, animated film, and video games, and to provide a forum in which these skills can be practised. The module will enable students to analyse and explore their own creative practice. They will design and develop a short outline for their chosen medium, under the supervision of tutors.

The aims of this module are to:

• Understand the core principles of human-centred design and fashion design, and how they apply to clothing and wearable products.
• Develop effective communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills in multi-disciplinary teams for the successful execution of fashion design products for a specific consumer.
