Course - Overview
This 2-year PG Programme in Product Design at Pearl Academy is structured to be an extension of a student’s undergraduate training by leveraging existing creative talents while simultaneously layering it with elements of accessory design, styles, and trends.
The programme focuses on educating & creating design professionals who are equipped to perform efficiently in the highly competitive and dynamic accessory industry. By teaching the basics of Design Process, Design Research, Style & Aesthetics, Form Generation & 3D Modelling, Crafting, and Manufacturing Technology, we develop competent, creative, and innovative accessory designers who are intellectually mature, ecologically sensitive, and socially responsible.
Students will exhibit competency in the design & development of accessories and other such collections for the retail industry. Their abilities would be developed in the fields of conceptualisation (from ideation to 3D realisation), integrating market, consumer, & technical requirements, identifying trends & fashion influences, and ensuring production feasibility. The course will focus on design specialisation, along with contextual socio-cultural, environmental, as well as business & commercial understanding.
