«In 1999 I went in Padua to inquire about SID because I was uncertain to enrol. When I got to the school my doubts immediately disappeared when I saw the students painting and sandpapering their prototypes outdoors and dirtying a bit everywhere during a modeling lesson. I thought: “If nobody says anything about, this is the right way to work and this is the right place to let our own fantasy out” and I enrolled.»
(Stefano Traverso, graduated at SID in 2001)

1. Introduction and goals

The Three-year Study Plan in Creative Design by Scuola Italiana Design was born out of the request by local companies for professionals who are specialized in product design.
The Plan, articulated in three years, provides strong vocational training thanks to its cutting-edge, modern and international structure. It aims to help students acquire expressive abilities, creative and design skills, knowledge and capabilities, all of which are essential for a rapid entry into the working world.
SID graduates in Creative Design are able to design, develop and communicate their projects of product design, with extended skills into visual, packaging and web design. They also have a global vision of the market and a wealth of professional experience gained by designing directly for companies.
