Visual Narratives
At its heart,
Illustration is storytelling. Illustrators frequently tell stories and convey
complex messages or concepts through their image making.

Image & Text
Our students explore the relationship between images and
text, and are introduced to the
design principles of layout and composition, as well as hand rendering
techniques associated with typographic design, with the intention of
integrating both image and text within a design context.

Students explore problem solving and creative play with a range of creative print-making processes. Workshops consist of a series of experimental print techniques, which are designed to develop an understanding and awareness of the processes used.
