Execution methods
If the student has acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, s/he can contact the teacher in charge of the course to agree on how to show the competence. Information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning are available on MyNet.
The students plan and implement a corporate identity design project as part of the operations of Creative Agency Krea (www.krea.fi).
The visual identity solution (such as a logo design) produced for the client needs to take into account the challenges of appealing to both local and global audiences.
The students learn to take entrepreneurial responsibility for planning and implementing the projects as agreed with the client/cooperation partner.
