Overview

The Beyond Branding program at ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering is a forward-thinking one-year programme exploring how brands and conceptualisation behave nowadays, analysing the current landscape of brand communication, and studying how global changes have influenced brands aesthetics and business models.

Key Features

ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering believes branding has evolved far past logos and brand manuals due to the heavy influence of technology shifts and the Internet in the last 20 years—new forms of complexity in communicating them demand novel responses on those responsible for doing so. Contemporary corporate identities must adapt to a never before seen range of audiences, formats, devices and narratives.

Access and Admission Requirements: Graduates in graphic design, advertising, communication and professionals with accredited experience. Exceptionally, graduates in marketing, fine arts or audiovisual with a demonstrable portfolio and advanced knowledge of design software.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Understanding the evolution of identity creation at a conceptual and visual level to be able to innovate today and in the future.
Analysis sessions and exchange of perspectives to discover the strategy behind today’s cultural products and brands.
Courses that revolve around different areas related to the creation of a brand identity, such as storytelling, creative direction, art direction, aesthetics, trend forecasting, innovation, branded content, and business design, among others.
Exploratory and interdisciplinary workshops to acquire and synthesize knowledge that complements and enriches the rest of the courses, which have an approach based on experimentation and hands-on.
Project development spaces to capture everything learned in the rest of the courses, in which the proactivity and vision of each person take precedence and which end with the development of the final master’s project.
