Year 1
Investigative, experimental and analytical.
In the first year, you will explore the role of drawing as a core skill as well as the relationship between drawing and traditional print processes. You will study some of the fundamental forms of illustration, such as Fashion and Reportage illustration, which have a very clear reliance on the practice of drawing.
Year 2
Developing Practice
The second year furthers your exploration of illustration in many of its fundamental forms. You’ll have opportunities to develop and apply your image-making abilities through a range of contemporary outcomes. These include engaging with externally set projects and tasks in the form of collaborations, competitions and exhibitions.
Year 3
Confirmation of Practice
Your final year is where you will hone your area of interest and/or specialism within illustration. You will have the opportunity to develop your research and illustration practice during your personal project and your dissertation. We support you to do this through negotiation and discussion as you plan and develop these bodies of work.
You will create a portfolio which showcases your individual, specialist illustration practice. You will also make introductory media and visual assets, such as innovative business cards and a striking web presence, to help you achieve your early career goals on graduation.
