General Photography Workshop

Course Description:

In today's world, images have become the most effective means of communication; therefore, learning photographic language is a need rather than a simple technical tool.

It will also teach students how the photographic language is applied in its different genres. This course is divided into both theoretical and practical hours of practice.

For the practical part, students handle the photographic camera with precision and create images that communicate messages. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to perform as photographers skilled with creativity, ethics and efficiency.

Advertising Strategies II

Course Description:

Advertising Strategies II is a program-specific course, of a theoretical-practical nature, which proposes a sharp reflection on the role of the Strategy in an environment as challenging as the current one. The brands are going through a turbulent time: The hypercompetence, the fragmentation of the media, the short life of differential advantages, the increasing indifference from the public, among other great challenges, make the vision of the planner uniquely important to help brands achieve sustained success over time.

Branding

Course Description:

The Branding course develops the tools required in each stage of the strategic creation of a brand, from its analysis, development and communication within a highly competitive market. Therefore, branding implies the strategic management of a brand, considering its different life stages, the market, consumers, environment and trends around it. Thus, this course will help to design strategies for product and/or service brands that respond to the organizational necessities. Even nowadays, a lot of people think that creating a brand implies only developing an identity for an organization, made up by a name, logotype and style. However, a brand means much more and comprises several aspects from concrete to emotional that allow creating relationship or link between the consumer and the product or service.
