BA (Hons) Illustration

Illustration is everywhere: in newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements and books, on products and on screen. It tells stories and reinforces messages. It makes complex ideas easy to understand and is a major part of our childhood. It makes us laugh, it makes us cry, and it makes us think. Students are encouraged to push boundaries, challenge convention, and harness new technology to solve illustration briefs, projects and design problems throughout their studies. The core principles of drawing are applied throughout. Students will develop key skills in creative thinking, translating a brief, drawing and mark making, and colour theory.
