In Italy there are prestigious fashion and design academies which are attended by students coming from every corner of the world, who chose to build their future with fashion and creativity.
The Italian Language Schools for foreigners Leonardo da Vinci located in Florence and Milan, decided to create some new courses to help all those guys whose desire is to attend a fashion and design academy in Italy like NABA, Domus Academy, Istituto Marangoni, Polimoda, Scuola Politecnico di Design, Fashion School Carlo Secoli, UptoDate Fashion Academy, Istituto Europeo di Design, etc.
The “Preparatory Course for Fashion and Design Academies” can have a duration which varies between 2 and 24 weeks, and its main goal is to prepare students for the entrance test of the Academy they have chosen, by helping them to hone and improve their skills thanks to the attention and the support of a qualified and experienced teaching staff.
During this course, the guys will learn and improve their knowledge of Italian language, in particular they will focus on the study of fashion and design terminology. In fact the course is open also to students who have a low-level Italian language knowledge, and students will have the opportunity to establish their starting level and the resulting course duration with a self-evaluation test to determine their Italian knowledge.
In the end of the course, students will obtain all the necessary instruments to face the entrance test of the academies with satisfying results.
The first session of the “Preparatory Courses for Fashion and Design Academies” will start on 9th February 2009, in our schools of Milan and Florence.
So guys, if your passion is design and fashion, and you would like also to learn Italian and enter in a fashion and design academy in our country, then the “Preparatory Course for Fashion and Design Academies” is just right for you!

For the Academic Year 2008/2009 NABA presents different design degree programs, and among them the Bachelor of Arts Degree Program.
NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, is an Italian Design Academy founded in 1980 and located in Milan, that offers a variety of programs inherent to creative and business design world.
In our design and fashion school we integrate the more traditional disciplines of visual representation with the new digital technologies and the critical project-oriented culture of Italian Design.

If you run a business and you have any form of corporate identity then you should care very much. How you present your company to your chosen market is fundamental to its success.
The graphic design process is crucial to any business, making it stand out head and shoulders from the competition. Whether it is the design of an entire corporate campaign or the creation of a simple company logo it still has to work effectively for you. There are four critical elements that should be seen in every logo design:
• It must be describable
• It must be memorable
• It must be effective without colour
• It must be scalable
Fairly obvious really but how does your logo stand up to these criteria? How does your company identity stand out from the competition?
Ask yourself why something is designed in a certain way. Consider why a particular colour is chosen instead of its opposite. Why use this font? Why include this particular graphic here? A good designer will think through every detail of a design and only include elements that will add to the design and re-enforce the brand.
Once your business is up and running you may think that any form of corporate identity will act to represent the company, visually creating a brand by default. Think again. If you look at the large corporations you will notice that their brand strategy stands the test of time for many years.
Many companies never change their logo design dramatically but only make the smallest of changes to keep the design looking modern and refreshed.
Benefits:
• Professional image
• Considered and long-lasting design strategy
• Make your company look bigger
• Stand out from your competition
• More effective
