DESN3564 Portfolio: Design and ContentThis module is not approved as a discovery module
Module summary
Students will produce an innovative portfolio, which demonstrates their ability to create a diverse range of design solutions in their chosen pathway. The work will reference the detailed and rigorous research from Integrated Portfolio: Research and Analysis, and will respond to the current and future needs of the global fashion industry. Demonstrating expertise in the application of traditional and 2D and 3D digital fashion and textile applications students will articulate their personal design philosophy through the process of building a future facing, industry standard, portfolio of ideas and innovation.Objectives
The purpose of this module is to establish a rigorous design identity related to the students chosen pathway. Emphasis will be placed on the importance and value of developing a professional design portfolio. Utilising research and design development created in Integrated Portfolio: Research and Analysis, students will further enhance their awareness of decision making. With the application of digital and traditional skills, students will produce diverse, independent and original contemporary fashion design that demonstrates a breadth and depth of thoughtful, original, designed outcomes, that are appropriate for a broad global market.Learning outcomes
1. Critically review and appraise an established design identity, that will inform a final portfolio direction.
2. Relate the creative design process to research and analysis and formulate an effective correlation between them.
3. Prepare a portfolio of work which demonstrates advanced creative abilities, professional proficiency and a clear design identity, that reflects contemporary fashion in a particular chosen field.
4. Demonstrate a broad and advanced application of creative fashion design skills in hand and digital drawing, to produce and present a professional fashion design portfolio.
Syllabus
This module builds on DESN3172 Integrated Portfolio Research and Analysis. The module will be delivered through lectures, demonstrations and tutorials and will include self-initiated driven design projects participated on an individual basis.
Students are encouraged to conduct further individual and independent research into different levels of the fashion design market in order that they may formulate appropriate and innovative fashion design solutions. They will produce a visual 3 dimensional or digital finished fashion portfolio that demonstrates a synergy between fashion and textiles. This will address the future opportunities, demands and challenges which underpin their understanding of the process of fashion design and increase their understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by the global fashion industry.
Students will be expected to participate effectively in group/individual critiques that feature the importance of self-motivation, originality, commitment and time management. They will be encouraged to make independent decisions in accessing the most appropriate traditional, new or emerging technologies to develop advanced fashion design ideas.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback
Informal tutorials including monitoring of skills level (weekly basis).X4 Group tutorials at strategic times throughout the module.
X2 Students present their research to their cohort. This is an opportunity to receive formative feedback from staff and peers.
Students will also have the opportunity for mid-semester self-assessment formative feedback, based on the learning objectives and levels of assessment for the module.
At the end of semester 2 students receive summative feedback on the assessed submission.
