Now let us start discussing the academy. This epic academy is situated in Palazzo Testa of Florence City, which resides in the region of Italy’s capital Tuscany.

Therefore studying in Florence design academy will be next to boon for those who want to study abroad as they will not only learn designing skills but they going to learn and witness an Italian culture and architecture such as masterpieces n created by historical Renaissance artists and Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Brunelleschi are few of them. Since all courses are taught here in English language but if you want to learn Italian language and architectural terminology deeper so I advise you to enroll yourself for Italian languages and make sure they have only limited seats for that.
The Florence design academy was started in the year 1991 by an American artist named Daniel Graves, who just didn’t start it but directed it as well in order to offer training to those who aspires to become a professional draftsman, painters, and sculptors. Due to its international award winner teachers and designers full with amazing talent this school has become one of the best and futuristic design schools in Europe.

They are having a different curriculum in the field of art and design and in animation as well such as interior designing, 3D graphic and graphic designing, industrial designing, and 3D animation. For the betterment of student every year 35 new faculties got a recruit. This school is full of benefits and services to its student’s such full-time internet facilities and on-demand mobile facility to the student, high-quality equipment and powerful and modern tools. The combo of their technology and methods are the base of a professional career for a career oriented student so that he or she can grow deeper and deeper in their career. Their unique and exciting specialist design education system is totally based on futuristic methods. Though these methods are unique and quite best but they challenge the older and conventional concepts solutions and processes and even being so challengeable futuristic methods are good and they meet the needs of both present and future generations of student belonging to any discipline.

FDA provides two kinds of education options:
Academic Course
Master Course

Industrial and Product Design
Now let us begin with the graphic design course. In this program, they will provide all the necessary techniques and knowledge required for a person to become a professional such as traditional art techniques like painting, still life shades or modern digital art techniques like motion graphic videos. During the execution of this course, students will learn and work using high-tech equipment such as Professional Workstations with a high resolution 19“ Monitor, digital graphics tablet with a digital pen as they are working as a professional in a design-studios so that he or she may become a competitive designer.

Now lets us move to the second program i.e. interior design. This course or program plays a very important role not just in the life of a designer but also in our daily life as well. It is so because when we talk about an interior designing profession then that means the professional will goanna groom the personality of an interior or of a room. The most important phase and area of work in this sector are playing with light, color, shadows, materials, shapes, furniture design and architectural details as only working in these sectors we can groom the personality of our room. During the execution, of course, the high-tech hardware for students includes a professional workstation with a high resolution 24“Monitor, digital graphics tablet with a digital pen so that student can feel like working in a professional studio and their technologies or software’s they will learn includes Autocad, 3D Studio MAX, Photoshop etc.
Now the last sector is Industrial and Product Design. Let us study this sector now. This is quite similar to the interior one as here you also have to make some object or products but not only limited to interior stuff but much other stuff such as automobile or gadget or any kind of modern equipment. You will learn here the functionality and appearance of any object and also the factors affect creating an object such as its shape, color, material and much more and the addition of this your curriculum will include fusion of these factors as well. If you talk about hardware and software then you will be working on similar thinks such as a professional workstation with a high resolution 24“Monitor, digital graphics tablet with digital pen and even the software’s includes Autocad, Photoshop, 3D Studio MAX, Rhinoceros 3D etc. which are quite similar to interior design course.
