Program details

Overview

Illustration students begin in a first year shared with Fine Art and Photography, working beside people on other creative courses. This broadens perspective and, subject to progression requirements, offers a chance to change degree if another subject proves more appealing. Early teaching pushes students to understand the cultural and historical background of visual practice, to develop and sharpen ideas, and to consider who their work is for. Later years allow individual direction, so that each person builds a body of images and a recognisable approach. The course is intended for those who want to tell stories and communicate concepts through drawing and image-making, whether for publishing, editorial work, advertising, games or independent practice.
