Class Post-production of Fashion Image

The Fashion Image Post-Production course aims to develop a critical sense and aesthetic sensitivity in the analysis and creation of fashion images, presenting trends and practices of photographers, brands and designers involved in the industry. At the same time, the practical component of the course seeks to introduce the fundamentals of digital imaging and train students in the use of image processing software, with the aim of planning and carrying out conscious and effective communication of their productions in terms of a portfolio and taking advantage of digital media.

Through visual and exemplary presentations, various aspects of fashion image will be analyzed, from a conceptual and technical point of view, reinforcing the intrinsic relationship between these two fields that lead from idealization to realization. There will be classes dedicated to introducing the fundamentals of digital imaging, with exercises designed to put into practice what has been explained. The work proposed for assessment will be monitored by the teachers, but hours of autonomous work must be accounted for. The type of work is essentially practical, involving research, planning, organization and execution. Integrated practice is encouraged, in conjunction with other CUs, in which students learn by doing and teachers facilitate learning.
