CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

This course moves from a deep understanding of the evolution of communication boosted by the proliferation of new media, with the aim of training a new generation of communicators, expert in the art of visual storytelling and perfectly tuned in with social and cultural change. By investigating the complex nature of images through both a historical-critical reading and a research-based approach with specific attention to experimental communication languages ​​and to the evolution over time of their symbolic value, participants become familiar with the main theories of sociology applied to communication, within the extremely fragmented scenario of new media. They also refine their ability to combine technical skills with methodological ones and sensitivity for content, for the creation of multifaceted communicative artefacts. By governing both the formal aspects of the project and the executive ones, students learn how to professionally conceive and manage the strategic dimension of a communication project, be it linked to the visual identity of a brand or the coherent declination of an integrated campaign across multiple digital media.
