Program Description:
The Digital Illustration degree curriculum gives students the skills and tools necessary to work as freelance digital illustrators or as team members in digital art and design studios. Focusing primarily on the rendering of imagery for advertising, commercial, and entertainment purposes, the Digital Illustration curriculum combines traditional drawing and painting skills with new media digital applications and output strategies.
Students who wish to use the Digital Illustration curriculum for transfer into a four-year art and/or design program should consult with a CGVC program coordinator as to their path of study. Many courses will transfer, but certain specialized courses may not.
Upon successful completion of this degree, students will be able to:
-
Differentiate between the many different fields of illustration
-
Define the marketplace in which illustrations can be sold
-
Understand how illustration fits into the workflow of digital design
-
Effectively use industry-standard drawing and painting applications to render professional-level illustrations
-
Create compelling spot illustrations for multiple media usage
-
Successfully combine traditional drawing and painting media and techniques with digital tools and applications
-
Create an illustration job from concept to final product
-
Pitch illustration solutions to clients
-
Organize an illustration portfolio to reflect a career direction
-
Develop a distinct, individual illustration style
-
Prepare successful digital files for print and/or screen display
