2D Illustration / Sketching
Enhance digital drawing skills, using industry standard tools. Develop skills to take a concept from sketch to digital asset. Create user engaging assets that meet the design and user requirements of your project. Engage with the design process regarding critical analysis and evaluation of created assets. Further develop illustration, image creation and manipulation skills using various industry software products. Build on previous colour theory to create engaging designs for user interaction.
