This course is a creative adventure which introduces you to an exploration of communication through image making and conceptual thinking. Central to this will be your development and understanding of skills and processes using traditional and new media, theory and production methods. It offers fantastic opportunities for you to become an innovative illustrator and creative practitioner, learning to build and manage your own professional practice. You will have opportunities to apply your skills across a range of illustrative applications including, but not limited to, editorial, publishing, packaging, product, print, music design, advertising, character and animation. You will use our excellent links with professional illustrators and creatives, agencies and experts across the creative industries to develop a professional focus to your personal practice through live projects, competition briefs and industrial experience. We will help you generate your own networking, collaboration and exhibition opportunities. On graduation you will have an awareness of the professional opportunities available to you and the confidence and understanding to make informed decisions about your future. The overall aim of the course is to help individuals to develop into independent, creative thinkers with the ability to deliver critically and visually engaged work within the professional context of contemporary illustration and the wider creative industries.

Year One — You’ll explore a range of approaches to the communication of ideas through image making, with an emphasis on experimentation and critical reflection. You’ll develop your practical, theoretical and contextual understanding of the discipline through projects and seminars alongside workshops. There is an ongoing focus on discovery through making and play supported by a lively programme of studio briefs. Year Two — You’ll further explore a range of approaches to communicating ideas, concepts and messages through image, media and visual language. You’ll apply your work to industrially relevant contexts and products while studying the theory and processes behind your practice. You’ll also learn essential business skills and explore the postgraduate opportunities open to you. Year Three — You’ll focus on your own professional ambitions and further develop the business-related skills required for becoming a professional illustrator. You’ll negotiate your own creative projects and activities including competitions, live briefs, industrial research and experience; building a portfolio which reflects our focus. There will be opportunities to collaborate with other students from this and other courses, learning to respond to the demands of the creative industries.
