University-Level Course Guide | Foundation Degrees FdA Illustration
Foundation Degree Awarding Body: Plymouth University
The most engaging and memorable illustrations come from people with a bold, clear approach. Study illustration with us and you’ll learn how to create images that are different to everyone else’s. We don’t have a ‘house style’ – we’ll actively encourage you to discover and develop your own illustrative voice.
This voice will help you attract the attention of commissioning agents and publishers, and find work doing what you love.
Illustration is a visually dynamic means of communication and demands imaginative, creative, versatile students willing to develop their own voice. This course aims to help you develop the skills and ideas necessary for the evolving world of contemporary illustrative practice.
We have busy studios which are well-equipped, offer an energetic atmosphere and a friendly environment. Study includes practical and theoretical work embracing individual and collaborative activities.
