Description of the programme
Illustrators see themselves as artistic partners of editorial offices, advertising agencies, design offices, publishing houses, museums, game and film productions. They are not only in demand as service providers, but also contribute their ideas, experience and creative attitude in an advisory capacity. They usually work as freelancers. The language of images is universal—that is why the world is open to illustrators.
Depending on specialisation and inclination, the range of tasks ranges from children's book illustrations, to magazine pages, to advertising campaigns, to infographics, to scientific illustration, to packaging design, to concept art for computer games. Especially in comics, graphic novels, animation films and other, artistically freer projects, illustrators appear as independent authors.
Why enrolling in this programme?
The teachers are internationally working illustrators and artists who will share their professional experience with you. Illustration is a young, growing course of study that, with its practical teachers, the integrated semester abroad or practical semester and a variety of elective modules as well as interdisciplinary seminars, gives you the optimal start into your career as an artist.
Due to the development of digital media, working methods, requirements, technical workflows and application spectrums are also subject to constant change. Nevertheless, the art of drawing is indispensable as a technical basis and as an elementary cultural technique for communication and idea generation. Illustrating means inventing images, developing your own visual languages, experimenting, thinking and working visually. But it also means translating texts into graphic ideas, researching a wide variety of topics, finding adequate solutions - and always remaining curious.
