Overview

Key facts:

You’ve played the video games and been blown away by the graphics. You’ve admired the creativity of illustration in books. Perhaps as a kid you once thought how much fun it would be to be an illustrator but also wondered how realistic it was to make this dream a reality.

Illustrators find work as designers, creative directors, art directors and in a myriad of other roles related to image making. Many illustrators pursue freelance positions, which provide them with autonomy and flexibility in their work and life. The Illustration degree is offered at George Fox University.

Entrepreneurial Artists

Contemporary illustrators are often known as artistic entrepreneurs, since their practices range from editorial work, self-directed projects and exhibition to merchandise design and much more.

Our faculty of working professionals will guide you through a curriculum in traditional media, digital tools and portfolio building that prepares you to pursue work and contracts as a practicing freelance professional.

Whether sitting at an easel or working with a Wacom tablet, you will develop creative problem-solving abilities and an authorial voice, and learn to translate ideas into visual forms.
