Design Studies, Design Management
and Design Practice
This training programme is aimed at capability development that enhances integration and performance of the ‘creative’ and ‘branding’ functions within a creative organisation. The programme is designed with a focus on ‘design for branding’ set against an understanding for what design is, design thinking and the design process which are the underpinning knowledge critical to the professional communication of design in marketing and the effective presentation of design ideas and concepts to internal and external stakeholders.
The programme will cover the fundamentals of branding as they relate to how design affects branding and how branding can leverage on design as a strategic tool for business success. It will address the professional competencies needed to make brands work by design and to create design that are sensitive to user needs (and usability) and market trends (and marketability) to objectively rationalise, defend, diminish or eliminate factors of conceptual subjectivity in design.
The programme will provide a continuum of conceptual possibilities to unleash ‘creative’ and ‘branding’ capabilities that are needed to address issues, problems, opportunities and challenges as they emerge in the resolution of a design problem.
