AKTU Integrated Design Project-IV (BBFD657) Syllabus PDF – BFAD 3rd Year

Context of the Project The integrated design project should incorporate and integrate the understanding of basic design, elements of design, design process, fashion illustration, pattern making, garments construction, draping and surface ornamentation thereby creating a meaningful correlation and application within the context of fashion. This is done by attempting to evolve an aspired image and then creating a garment, which represents the image for a target customer.

The project will concentrate on encouraging a mature and self-motivated approach towards the final product and completion of work on a creative, original and technically sound either an Indian wear or Western wear.
