CREATIVE PLATFORMS - OUTLINE

This unit integrates negotiated professional projects with
professional liaison and self-promotion enabling the student
to build from their body of work with direct relevance to their
career aspirations.
Extensive collaborative work is encouraged enabling
students to develop an advanced level of experience and
competence in promoting their skills.
The curriculum content is based on the premise that those
seeking a career as design professionals and creatives in the
industry require a comprehensive understanding of its
structure and the requirements for employment.
