Course Objective

The lecture is to enable to students to create unıque and creative designs following interpratation of the reports they have prepared considering sketch, pre design, output, choice of material and related designing critaria, make material and technical analyses when turning their designs into outputs, create and present collections and thus strengthen and develop rationale for creativesness and collection and finally convey basic processes of trade marking, marketing and item, developing in terms of processing trade mark.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

The creative thought processes and original ideas exhibited in the students' designs will be evaluated in terms of aesthetic understanding and originality. The innovative techniques and solutions applied in the designs include elements such as transcending traditional methods, using new materials or techniques, and enhancing the functionality of the design. The skill in applying the used techniques and the quality of craftsmanship, material selection, cutting and sewing techniques, dyeing and printing methods will be examined through these critical factors.
