Diploma In Games Design, Animation And Concept Art (Level 3 Extended)

Do you have some drawing experience and ability, both traditionally and digitally? Have a passion for Games Design? This exciting course caters for any aspiring designers with an interest in creatively using digital technology in the rapidly developing industry of game design.

You will learn skills, techniques and tips on how to design games, 2D and 3D animation, and learn how to utilise many design disciplines and apply what you’ve learnt to projects which allow you to experiment with a wide range of digital skills and techniques.

Throughout the course you will develop skills and techniques when using industry standard software such as Autodesk Maya and tools within the Adobe Creative Suite to make exciting concept art and engaging graphic narratives. In addition to this, the course covers structured drawing development, research and analysis with a focus on enhancing your creative skills in the theory and practice of game production.
