Ethics and Professional Practice in Design

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. identify the practical procedural issues involved in setting up a textile/fashion outfit; and 2. explain the legislative and ethical issues involved in general design practices and setting up a textile/fashion outfit.

Studies on how to set up small-scale enterprises in Fashion and Textiles will be embarked upon. Interactive sessions on the protocol of client services management, marketing and appropriation will be conducted. The course serves as a forum to discuss and prepare for the concern of the professional world. Emphasis is placed on the portfolio refinements, presentation skills, interviewing strategies and professional practice involving money management, self-employment, studio set up, off site production and other related issues.
