Cursos de Total Design 1st Year Of Ba Hons In Design en Madrid

Total Design (1st Year of BA Hons in Design) is a transversal journey through the various disciplines of design and communications, over the course of one academic year. This course is intended for people who wish to begin their studies in the areas of product, interior, graphic and fashion design.
The relationship between the various design disciplines is very close, both in terms of professional activities and more theoretical aspects, which is not clearly defined. The Total Design (1st Year of BA Hons in Design) course is a transversal journey through the various disciplines of design and communications, over the course of one academic year. Throughout the year, all areas are covered from both a theoretical and practical perspective, fully encompassing all of the fundamental subjects involved in professional design activities and project culture. 

The academic year culminates with a real project conducted for a company in the form of a competition. This year’s project will be done for the brand VANS. In previous years, companies such as MUJI, HOSS Intropia and Skunkfunk have collaborated.
