Overview

In concept art you will be helped to master a range of industry-focused tools and techniques for developing pre-production, production and post-production art for the film and video game industries. In comic art you will develop a practical understanding of idea generation, visual storytelling and visual communication.

These two themes mean you will access a wide range of creative possibilities and opportunities. They are underpinned by contextual studies to inform and enhance your practice through an exploration of the historical, cultural and social contexts of the wider world of print and web-based comic arts, graphic novels and visual communication.

The Concept and Comic Art (Hons) BA course offered at De Montfort University features regular guest lectures and workshops, giving you an opportunity to experience first-hand what it takes to design successful content.â€¯Our studio culture encourages peer collaboration and networking with industry professionals to support you as you create your portfolio.
