| Description: | This course introduces students to special event planning processes and techniques. Emphasis is on creating, organizing, identifying sponsors for, marketing and implementing large-scale community events, as well as show rooms and trade shows to photoshoots and fashion shows. We will explore this very detail-oriented field as it deals with vendors, contracts, fundraising, budgeting, ethics, and other aspects. Students will research product, competition and target market to determine best possible exposure and success. As part of the course students may organize a real event in interdisciplinary collaboration with other departments (Graphic Design, Jewelry Design, Photography and/or Interior Design). |
