Curriculum Overview With the help of technological tools, the traditional creative walls which have surrounded art directors, designers and illustrators are coming down. They're being replaced by creative work groups; whether in the same room or halfway around the globe; where everyone is encouraged and expected to contribute on every level. To be truly marketable and successful in this environment, you will need many skills. Knowing how to think is key. That, simply, is why we have developed our curriculum around both advertising and illustration. So that graduates are prepared to help synthesize and assemble a unified visual statement that communicates successfully. Our objective is to develop illustrators who understand the elements of design, and designers who appreciate the impact and use of color, composition, and the visual approach of illustration.
