Overview
This unit offers insight into the connection between media and fashion image making. It takes a critical historical, interdisciplinary and industrial approach to the study of fashion media, exploring media and digital social platforms that have contributed to the dissemination of fashion. Cross-pollination between fashion and media platforms from different historical times has contributed to the formation of taste, along with cultural and consumer discourses. This unit explores the evolving and complex fashion communication landscape that has captured key changes in fashion culture and industry, and the fragmentation and opening up of fashion communication to global consumers and identities.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate theoretical knowledge of the cultural and commercial relationship between media and fashion industries.
- Investigate and describe the relationship between fashion communication and media.
- Communicate effectively in creative and writing formats to support skills and knowledge in fashion image making.
- Work individually and collaboratively to present real world outcomes and critical research informed by unit material.
Content
This unit addresses content such as:
- fashion photography and film • their history and their contemporary developments through a study of aesthetics and industry
- new media platforms such as Instagram and their centrality to new ways in which fashion circulates and is disseminated globally.
Learning Approaches
Through an approach to learning that combines theory and practice in a blended environment, you will be encouraged in the first module to analyse key concepts in photography, film and fashion, and then apply these to the production of a practical outcome. In the second module you will deepen your critical skills in the analysis of social media platforms. Lectures and workshops will be interactive and you will be required to create new digital artefacts in a variety of formats as part of your learning experience. You will be expected to work independently and cooperatively in teams.
In the online mode of this unit, you will learn through engaging in a variety of online activities, online self-directed learning, and weekly research and readings that are designed to support your learning experience. The recorded lectures will examine conceptual and theoretical principles and issues across a variety of design areas, with a focus on contemporary case studies. Throughout the online delivery of this unit, you will receive support from your instructors and peers. You will have access to online resources and materials, and you will be able to communicate with your instructors and peers via various online platforms. A variety of support materials will be published on the Canvas website to coordinate the unit.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will receive formative feedback on your progress in this unit during workshops. You will receive summative individual comments in addition to generic comments to the cohort via Canvas and the online criteria sheet.
Assessment
Overview
Through practical hands-on projects that are individual or combine teamwork and multidisciplinary skills (writing, styling, filming), you will learn real world aspects of fashion communication in media. Tutorial activities and formative and summative feedback will support you in your successful completion of the unit. The outcomes will be the production of a short fashion film and a critical visual essay on digital social platforms.

Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
