The ability to make a range out of a central idea or a theme is an important attribute of a graduating fashion designer which all potential employers check out for. A range is primarily a collection of looks that fit within the theme with each look having its own unique point and price. At a single glance, a range allows one to visualize how the pieces will coordinate together, mix and match, and contribute to the look as a whole.

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION DESIGN is an evolving field today that not only involves creating stunning visuals but to also communicate a company’s message to their audience. Whether they work in branding, advertising, or web and app design, they have the power to strategically communicate the message. Sharing the diverse body of work of WUDs 4th and 6th semester students – from Storybook composition & illustration, to signages, window displays and video narrative, their visual problem-solving prowess is in full display.

In the field of animation the importance of immersive character and environment design is supreme.

Explorations by Prabhleen Kaur, our student of BVA Creative Painting stream. One can see that it has been a liberating expression of feelings and experiences for her.

PRODUCT DESIGN as a specialization opens windows into every known manufacturing segment - from bottle design to tool design, from computer accessories to kitchen implements design. As these works of our third year students show that utility is as important a criteria as usability as also desirability are. Even if the product is largely functional, both the ease-of-use and aesthetics of the product play important roles in making it saleable.

Design Thinking is the essential ability to combine empathy, creativity, and rationality to meet user needs and drive business success. With an aim to encourage students to practice design thinking mindsets, the School of Management conducted the Marshmallow Exercise for students from various disciplines. This exercise helped them learn crucial aspects of collaboration, innovation, hidden assumptions and team spirit. The activity took 45 minutes in total, wherein the participants were divided into groups of 6. Each team was given a certain amount of spaghetti, a marshmallow and paper tapes. The teams were given a limited time of 18 minutes to build a free-standing spaghetti structure with the marshmallow placed on top. The team with the tallest structure won the challenge. This activity had a huge impact on students when they failed to build something deceptively simple. As the teams rushed to build up their towers taller than their competitors, they ignored the most important aspect i.e. stability, and saw their structures collapsing towards the end. Surprisingly, the winning team had built the shortest structure but it could stand the test of stability. The realization that planning is as important as building was the key take away. The fun design and build activity taught some simple but profound lessons in testing, iteration, critical thinking and resilience.

GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION DESIGN is an evolving field today that not only involves creating stunning visuals but to also communicate a company’s message to their audience. Whether they work in branding, advertising, or web and app design, they have the power to strategically communicate the message. Sharing the diverse body of work of WUDs 4th and 6th semester students – from Storybook composition & illustration, to signages, window displays and video narrative, their visual problem-solving prowess is in full display.

In the field of animation the importance of immersive character and environment design is supreme.

Explorations by Prabhleen Kaur, our student of BVA Creative Painting stream. One can see that it has been a liberating expression of feelings and experiences for her.

Production Design is an important focus area to master in WUD FILM & VIDEO DESIGN program.

PRODUCT DESIGN as a specialization opens windows into every known manufacturing segment - from bottle design to tool design, from computer accessories to kitchen implements design. As these works of our third year students show that utility is as important a criteria as usability as also desirability are. Even if the product is largely functional, both the ease-of-use and aesthetics of the product play important roles in making it saleable.

Design Thinking is the essential ability to combine empathy, creativity, and rationality to meet user needs and drive business success. With an aim to encourage students to practice design thinking mindsets, the School of Management conducted the Marshmallow Exercise for students from various disciplines. This exercise helped them learn crucial aspects of collaboration, innovation, hidden assumptions and team spirit. The activity took 45 minutes in total, wherein the participants were divided into groups of 6. Each team was given a certain amount of spaghetti, a marshmallow and paper tapes. The teams were given a limited time of 18 minutes to build a free-standing spaghetti structure with the marshmallow placed on top. The team with the tallest structure won the challenge. This activity had a huge impact on students when they failed to build something deceptively simple. As the teams rushed to build up their towers taller than their competitors, they ignored the most important aspect i.e. stability, and saw their structures collapsing towards the end. Surprisingly, the winning team had built the shortest structure but it could stand the test of stability. The realization that planning is as important as building was the key take away. The fun design and build activity taught some simple but profound lessons in testing, iteration, critical thinking and resilience.
