This is one of my favourite courses (actually to be honest we don't have a favourite course because each one has its own special place) but I LOVE this course because this is where people really put on their thinking caps and delve deep into their creative beings, learning to see with their third eye and perceiving things with their sixth sense.

In fact, I often say once you know how to design, you will never accept magazines from people to copy styles because YOU KNOW it is such a waste of a talent you never even knew you had! And THAT my friends is what is called the "design part of fashion" i.e. the real art of fashion design.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DESIGN, FASHION ILLUSTRATION WITH CAD COURSE ABOUT?!

The Course was created to help designers work on their innate creative abilities. Often times many have ideas they cannot put on paper, while others are unable to build a portfolio which they can use to showcase their skills when approaching a customer. And no - showcasing your skills does not necessarily mean the clothes have to be sewn.

And trust me it is a TOUGH process but once you get the hang of it, you will truly love fashion! The depth of research, the development of an idea that seems impossible and how to draw inspiration from what you never even thought about is actually very exciting.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?!

You will learn From Scratch how to:

develop a fashion collection and portfolio;
develop your designs from a source of inspiration;
understand colours and fabrics;
communicate your ideas to your tailor using technical drawings in order to minimise errors;
sketch and clothe a fashion figure;
draw facial features, hair and spinal movements;
digitally enhance your fashion illustrations with a cad software; and
develop a portfolio for use during fashion competitions, fashion school applications and when meeting your customer.
And I kid you not, this is just a snapshot of the real deal!



HOW DOES IT RUN?
It is in 3 parts:

Part 1: Design & Concept Development
How to develop your designs from an idea or a source of inspiration using the tools of the design process. This is really the creative part of fashion! A lot of brainwork and research goes into this.

Part 2: Manual Illustration
How to draw and clothe the fashion figure, including spinal movements, facial features and technical drawings!

Part 3: Digital Illustration with Computer-Aided Design Software
And this is where you learn how to develop your magic using CAD turning your illustrations from nice to FAB!


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?!

Oh.... I am extremely excited to share this new development! :-D :-D :-D

We all know how TOUGH the economy has been on everyone. And we soooooo feel you on this one! So while prices are on the rise generally, we have reviewed ours downwards!!! :-D :-D :-D Isn't that great?!

So what have we done?!!!!! Instead of the N90,000 for the full Course, we have made it.....

Drumroll please..........

N75,000 for the full course!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok what did we do?! No we did not rip you off in the past! Far from it! EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THIS COURSE WILL TELL YOU IT IS A BARGAIN! OK Don't believe me?! First things first, the initial N85,000 which then became N90,000 because of the increase in the dollar included the cost of the digital graphic tablet. Yes we do have to order your tabs and bring them in and digital tablets cost at least N25-N30k. Just ask around or conduct your research!


BUT now, we have decided [b]students can come with their normal tablets! [/b]Which of course means we can take out the cost of the digital graphic tablet and make it optional! And before you say anything, I can safely tell you the digital tab did not cost N15k in the first place. We absorbed some of the costs just to make the course more affordable!

We also realised some students who already had tablets had to buy laptops just so they could use the graphic tabs on them. And we thought surely there had to be a way to prevent people from spending more money in this tight economy?! And we came up with a GREAT plan!

So YUP! The fees are now N75,000 for the full course and you can use your own normal portable tablet.:-D BUT you need to get the FULL version of the software! That we can give you details before you start the CAD Course.

For those who still want to to get the digital tablet for use with your laptops, you can buy one from us for N25,000 only - which is still a bargain! You cannot get it for cheaper elsewhere trust me! I think we still have some in stock!

So going forward, please bring your tabs and in fact seeing I am so excited about this, I'll even throw in a FREE compatible digital pen for the first 9 people who register. I have a lot more than I need so the first 9 people who register get one for free! That way you don't have to use your fingers during the class and your work can be more precise! I have tested it on an iPad and a Samsung, and it works in the CAD software space!

BUT after the first 9, if you want one, you will have to buy it because I have to order it. If you already have one, great! If you don't mind using your fingers, that is also fab! But using your fingers isn't really neat so it's best to get one :-)

Ok... so it is now N75,000 for the full course ( yes I"ve said that enough times already)!

BUT the best part is, you still get options! Meaning you don't have to do everything. Just pick the one you want and register for just that bit!


SO WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS

You get 5 whole options!!! :-D :-D :-D

Option 1: Full Course: Parts 1, 2 & 3 - N75,000
Option 2: Parts 2 and 3 only - N60,000
Option 3: Part 2 or Part 3 only - N45,000 (but those going for Part 2 only need to pay an extra N3,500 for the drawing kit)
Option 4: Part 1 only - N30,000
Option 5: Part 1 with Part 2 or Part 3 - N55,000

So basically it's N15,000 cheaper per option without the design part! The design only is N30,000 and the design only with any of the other parts is N55,000 only (which was what we charged wayyyy back then early 2015!) Easy! To the point! Saves me the stress of having to calculate over and over again. And everybody is smiling!
