Print Advertising for a World Market
This course considers such issues when looking at cross-cultural representation and perception in graphic advertising design. It invites you to analyse some interesting advertising design case studies, with emphasis on print media advertising from magazine ads to billboard posters. Nowadays, with many companies trying to sell their goods in the global market, there is a claim that the developed world has evolved into a global monoculture. Nevertheless, designers and entrepreneurs still need to be aware of cultural nuances.

Cross Cultural Sculpture
This is a practical, online sculpture course that will introduce you to ways of making contemporary sculpture and installation art through online projects. The two studio projects are designed to help you develop your own future creative enquiries as the activities mimic the processes artists employ to make artworks that are content rich and idiosyncratic. Ordinary skills, such as cutting, assembling, sanding and gluing, painting, sewing, stapling and snap shot photography are required for everyday methods of construction and recording. Materiality will be investigated using culturally encoded found objects and commonplace ‘stuff’.

Visual Identity in the Built Environment
It may seem obvious why a fashion boutique stamps a big logo on the front of its commercial premises, however, ask yourself: why do local councils label street signs in their municipality with a council emblem, or why do public parks nowadays have a logo designed to represent them? Most environments we encounter on a daily basis have been designed to carry a specific visual identity or brand. The course explores a range of commercial and non-commercial spaces. It examines how visual identity has been programmed into these spaces and how this affects the user-experience.

Fashion 1980 - Now
Why do high-heeled shoes feature in the television series Sex and the City? How are fashion, gender and sexuality linked? Why can women now wear a cheongsam dress and trainers? Fashion history and theory is one of the most rapidly developing areas of humanities research, drawing upon new theories of the body, social space, surfaces, ephemerality and popular culture.
