Reasons to choose Kingston - The course is taught by practising illustrators, designers and researchers in design. They will help you develop your understanding of the relationship between illustration, words and communication. - You will study with students from across the Design School, building your own visual language and ‘tools’ in response to briefs in each module. - Your learning will be supported by live projects, competitions, lectures and workshops. About this course This course encourages you to explore and understand the methods and processes at work in contemporary illustration. It challenges preconceptions about illustration and design. You will be asked to consider what? how? why? and who? This represents a shift from the traditional problem-solving approach to one of problem finding. There is a focus on the patterns of research you develop and the visual methods you employ to explore and unravel briefs. You will be expected to demonstrate how you research and develop your ideas, culminating in an independent project. Example modules - Visual Grammar, Literacy and Intelligence - Designing Research - Visual Storytelling: Narrative and Sequence For a full list of modules please visit the Kingston University course webpage.
