Fashion Institute of Technology
In this FIT class we run two streams: the (1) advanced stream and (2) basic stream. The basic stream is for those who have not already comprehensively learned InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
FIT (1) advanced stream
You will be undertaking and handing in three projects — each of which will be marked. Occasionally your submitted work gets lost, so you are required to keep your submission for the whole semester, in case I need to ask you to resubmit.
