Overview
Theory - Portfolio not required.
This module covers the theory and retail business practice of visual merchandising, product promotion and interior display. It explores future visual opportunities with regards to the digital space and technological innovation. It enables students to understand and evaluate the visual strategies that retailers employ in order to communicate their brand message, promote store image and increase merchandise sales. Students work on two assignments, an individual report and a group portfolio. The module combines the skills gained on the CAD and Illustration module from level 4 with facilitation to advance Photo shop skills, in order to create a visual merchandising solution for a specific fashion concept and store.
