Final assignment: Academic Poster
This day will be dedicated to preparing the second assignment: an academic poster. The final assignment will demonstrate a response to Fashion – Places and Spaces, based on the weekend research and course reading. The poster will be developed on the basis of Monday’s class and feedback you have been given as well as tutorials during the day. The aim is to further analyze your research findings and contextualize them with the help of literature you have read during the course. You have access to a computer class where you can design the poster with guidance from Professors Clark and Vänskä.
In the poster you will include a discussion of chosen examples, exploration of a chosen concept, presented visually and with text, and include some key readings.
Each poster will include a title, author’s name, 3-4 keywords, aims and/or a hypothesis, a project description, relevant images, references/citations.

Guiding questions to think about:
-
What are the characteristics of Helsinki as a fashion city? What are characteristics of Finnish fashion in the global context?
-
OR: Who creates fashion (consumers, marketers, environment and space (including retail)?
-
OR: How is fashion created in specific places/space?
