Florence, Tuscany -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/31/2009 -- NABA (http://www.design-summer-courses.com/) is proud to announce that its Summer Session has now reached its 7th edition.

NABA faculty have worked hard improving past programs and developing new ones to make the Summer Educational Offer as interesting and varied as possible.

Milan (http://www.design-summer-courses.com/), unanimously recognized as the world capital of design and creativity, will provide a stimulating and enticing environment.

Milan is the city of architects, designers, fashion stylists, entrepreneurs, graphic designers, creative minds and publishers.

Students will find themselves in a thriving metropolis with an international dimension that hosts the main entrepreneurial and manufacturing activities in Italy: from advertising to the publishing industry, from small artisan’s shops to hi-tech companies.

NABA Summer Programs Educational Offer (http://www.design-summer-courses.com/) is wide-ranging and diversified: it includes Introduction, Intermediate (Studio Level) and “A Focus on…” courses.

The Summer Programs propose a wide and updated synthesis of NABA know-how, giving a view of the most significant trends of the market, industrial creation processes, artistic and social expression, Interior and Product Design, Fashion Design, Styling, Accessories, Textiles and Fibers, Fashion Marketing and Merchandising, Brand Consulting and Retail Management, Ethical Fashion, Communication, Cinema, Graphics and Photography, together with the opportunity to experiment a topical project theme, under the guidance of renowned professionals and in cooperation with specialized companies and studios.

Introduction Level Courses are intended for students without academic background on a specific subject area and offer a unique opportunity to explore a new creative environment. These courses will concentrate on practical experimentation within the creative design process.

Intermediate Level Courses meet the needs of students with previous knowledge in that specific subject area who are keen on building upon this through an intensive and specialised training experience. Students will be immersed in a design environment simulating a professional studio, gaining profound insight into the technical components of the design process.

“A Focus on” Courses are theme-based courses centered around a specific topic, be it Ethical Fashion, African Cinema, Physical Computing, Retail Management or Brand Consulting. These courses require a strong interest in the topic dealt with as well as motivation towards the subject.

Selected visits to museums, companies, production sites and design studios during the programs expose students to the creative and cultural environment in Italy.
