Module Overview: Costume Design
Introduction
Everyone knows what a costume is. We wear them on Halloween, we see them in movies, on instagram, at conventions. Stage costumes are anything worn on stage. But so much more goes into the decisions than what color pants will look good next to that floral top.
Like all good design, effective costumes speak to the audience's subconscious.
