NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano, is the largest private Academy in Italy, and since 1980 it is legally recognized. It belongs to the Alta Formazione Artistica e Musicale (Higher Education in Art and Music) (AFAM), part of the Italian University system regulated by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).

NABA was the first academy to launch accredited Programs in fashion, graphics, and design, and currently offers first and second level educational paths (Three-year BA Programs, Two-year MA Programs and One-year Master Programs) in Visual Arts, Theatre and Exhibit Design, Graphics and Multimedia Arts, Fashion Design and Design.

At the end of the Programs, students obtain academic diplomas equivalent to university degrees and gain the necessary credits (CFA) to continue their studies either within Academies or Universities in Italy and abroad.

The programs at NABA are open to students interested in the design culture and artistic experimentation: they come from many different Italian regions, and almost 68 foreign countries, and have the most diverse high-school background.

NABA’s interdisciplinary didactic methodology is the result of a strong inclination towards innovation and a dynamic interaction with the artistic and professional context. In fact, design methods are at the core of the didactic activities, allowing an idea to relate with a real social and market context, and to become an actual product that can be shared.

All this is made possible also thanks to the continuously updated expertise of the faculty, including professional practitioners and artists.

The constant relationship with companies and external institutions, and the teamwork projects developed by students with different educational and professional backgrounds, represent a further push and allow professional dynamics to be simulated.

A strong historical/critical knowledge, technical skills shown in materials expertise, and techniques and processes that allow students to develop original thoughts and creativity are combined with a strong self-promotion and teamwork ability at the same time. This gained know-how will accompany students in any educational or professional path.

coMPuter graPhics

The course, which introduces basic typographic rules, develops around the analysis of various digital communication languages, providing a theoretical and practical basis to effectively represent complex digital design projects using specific software, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Indesign. Students will be provided with the opportunity to apply the skills acquired by collaborating with real customers, participating in competitions and by creating their own personal portfolio.

Project Methodology

The course aims at providing students with both solid design expertise in the management of communication design project images and thorough visual proficiency. The processes leading to the creation of communicative output will be expanded on from both a theoretical and practical point of view, through collaboration with real or simulated customers.

design ManageMent

The course will provide the students with methodologies and tools needed to manage highly complex projects or design jobs, which will involve professionals from a diverse range of backgrounds. Students are asked to directly test the organization of a communication project through team assignments.

integrated MarKeting coMMunication

The necessary techniques to properly manage the tools of business communication will be analyzed and learnt in the course. These are crucial in order to manage emotions, needs and rational expectations of the several stakeholders with which the companies build their relations.

ethics of coMMunication

The course aims at developing this awareness by analyzing concrete situations and testimonials.

graPhic design

Through face-to-face lectures and design workshops, the course will address the fundamental themes of graphic design, as an introduction to creating suitable visual designs and the educational training of modern visual designers. elements of perceptology, graphical shape dynamics, culture and balance of visual space, lettering, Gestalt and colour theory, will be compared with the generation of graphical

Project ManageMent ii

The course introduces students to the prospect of establishing a new entrepreneurial initiative from an original idea. It focuses on the process of creating a new company, "breaking down" a complex process into "basic" components: the market, the company, customers and actions. Students will complete a final practical project, enabling them to test their project and to assess the validity of the initial idea through its marketing and consequent success or failure.

brand design

The course covers the fundamental themes relating to the analysis and creation of a brand's visual identity. The expression of a brand's visual identity is considered by examining emblematic and distinctive visual elements, as well as by exploring the system of signs and values expressed by contemporary brands.At the same time, a highly complex project will

be developed, enabling students to undertake trend research and to design a space of communication.

Throughout recent decades, interior spaces have played an increasingly important role in our individual and collective environments. The interior space is built substance, and entering into it does not mean entering an empty space but becoming part of a complex body. Interior design gives meaning and value to interior spaces: defines the physical and mental spaces of personal intimacy, animates and enlivens the relational places of small and large communities, activates the public spaces and complex buildings which represent the "interior" of the contemporary city.The program is characterized by its Project Workshops, in which students face very challenging design tasks that are developed from an interdisciplinary perspective. Through other design courses, the program develops specific technical and methodological approaches to the design of interior spaces. Its theoretical courses explore the historical and contemporary landscape of Italian design, with an overview of the international scene of art, architecture, and design. Finally, the creative workshops, in which students engage in practical design projects, are led by outstanding personalities in the fields of interaction design, communication design, and exhibition design.
