BA Illustration will help you develop and explore your creative identity as an illustrator. The course takes an innovative and expansive approach to illustration, while also investigating the future of the discipline. Through making, you’ll explore the interrelationships between images and words. The course also encourages reflection on the roles and responsibilities of illustrators.

You’ll learn how to construct narratives and communicate ideas using a range of creative techniques. You’ll experiment and question the foundation and boundaries of the discipline. You’ll also explore how to communicate to audiences, orally, visually and in writing. 

Looking at different practitioners’ work, you’ll examine how illustration can be used to critique social, political and cultural issues. Workshops and discussion seminars will cover critical theory, histories and ideas.

BA Illustration includes content that is shared across our design courses. These units emphasise visual communication, design skills and emergent media common to all design disciplines. Through these you’ll be exposed to different ideas and perspectives, as well as experience the benefits of collaborative approaches.
