Program Overview

Program Description:

The Three-year Study Plan in Creative Design is the main educational course that Scuola Italiana Design offers to the students with at least a secondary school diploma, aimed at their professional qualification in design. It was born out of the request by local companies for professionals who are specialized in product design. The Plan provides strong vocational training thanks to its cutting-edge, modern and international structure.

SID graduates in Creative Design: - are able to design, develop and communicate their projects of industrial design - possess the basic skills into the product communication to the market, that is visual design (graphics), packaging and web design - are equipped with a global vision of the market and a wealth of professional experience gained by designing directly for companies. They can be hired in design offices of companies, professional design studios, or become freelance creative designers.

During the three years each student deals with the four specific areas of creative design: product, visual, packaging and web design. In the first two years (Two-year Course in Creative Design) students acquire basic cultural education in the research method, the creative method, the design method and the use of expressive languages, both manual and computerized, related to the profession. In the third year (One-year Master in Creative Design) the class group turns into a real professional studio in which the students, assisted by four instructors, develop their knowledge and skills with projects on themes directly assigned by six different client companies.
