Illustration

Bachelor
3 years Title : Digital Designer and Director
Option : Illustration

What is an illustrator?

First and foremost, an illustrator is an artist. They illustrate texts and highlight ideas. Their aim is to catch the eye of readers, consumers and viewers through harmonious and captivating visuals. They need to be creative, innovative and versatile. Their open-mindedness enables them to develop concepts in writing that they can easily transpose into images.

The digital graphics aspect of illustration provides students with additional skills, as they will also be working on software and technical support in addition to their own academic skills.

Digital graphic illustrators know how to work in the traditional way with a simple pencil, but are capable of using computer tools to create the same visual. After 3 years, our students will be able to work in a wide range of fields, including advertising illustration, motion design, comics, manga, graphic design, print and DTP, traditional illustration and art direction, to name a few! In short, it's a vast space that allows each student to develop both creatively and technically through a multitude of courses and projects.
