Program description
Degree awarded by University for the Creative Arts (UCA)
This course explores how to transmit messages and meaning through illustration, motion, and digital. You'll gain new abilities to improve and inform your design language.
During studio-based studies, you'll collaborate with other members of our creative community and courses to improve your workflow abilities and interdisciplinary understanding.
You'll have a confident design voice, a specialized design language, and an amazing portfolio. The course's emphasis on creating a testable, convincing proposal development environment is a key component. The program's fundamental parts are interdisciplinary discussion that incorporate theory, text, and design case studies.
You will be able to provide a coherent and original body of work if you explore and push the boundaries of modern visual solutions as you bring together your research and practice approaches.
