Illustration as design

This unit will emphasise the principle role illustration plays in the practice of graphic design. While continuing to develop individual illustration skills, you will be expected to realise your images in their intended contexts, such as packaging design, shopping bags, book covers, posters, advertisements, or other traditional graphic design formats. While being exposed to traditional image making processes you will also be encouraged to explore more experimental methods. A mix of hand generated imagery and digital methods will be encouraged.
