While creativity is undoubtedly the most visual and fun element to co-ordinate at an event, there are design principles and processes you must know to ensure your events are memorable. Learn design techniques such as the impact of spatial concepts, the effect of colour in styling and theming and how to manage a creative and successful event.
This is a nationally recognised and accredited training course that teaches the concepts of colour and design and their application to creative styling for events. Giving you these tools will help you imagine beyond pinterest and run free with your creativity, blending the essence of practical skills and décor style with visual impact and creative flair to transform Weddings, Functions, Gala Dinners, Parties, or any other function into something to be remembered.
This program is a “hands on” challenge to invent, design and restyle events in beautiful ways, operating out of a purpose-built studio in the heart of the bubbling Newcastle design community.
