Research Project – Visualising Learning Pathways: Illustrated Map of Digital Skills in Fashion Education
About this study
This study is part of my PgCert Academic Practice research at UAL. I am exploring how students navigate digital software workflows in fashion projects (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, CLO3D etc) and how a prototype resource called Digital Journeys (roadmap, search tool) can support them. Please note that the project is at early development stages.
