About the course Illustration is in a constant state of change and evolution, and our course reflects this as we focus on the way multicultural and technological issues influence the subject. Your practical skills will be tested as you work with animators, photographers and video makers to build the key skills of a designer and develop different types of work, including illustration for books, editorial applications and different forms of narrative. And you will also develop the drawing skills that can be used in projects shared between our animation and graphics courses, and are essential for success in areas such as film, animation, advertising, publishing, video games and app production.
