Graduating Event Design (VCDP 2495)
In this course, students will draw on everything they’ve learned previously in their programs to brand and market the department's annual graduating event, which aims to connect VCC with the design industry while promoting students graduating from our programs. Students must start with ideation and the creation of a brand concept. Once the brand is established, students will work out the details of their event and create a marketing plan that strategically targets the right audiences and expresses the brand well. Finally, students will be responsible for producing all design elements required to complete the project. All work will be collaborative and organized by the students, building skill in communication, collaboration, problem solving, and project management.
