The Undergraduate Degree in Graphic Design (240 ECTS), majoring in Illustration and Animation, prepares professionals who are capable of devising, programming and creating visual communication, both offline and online, to stimulate users. Students majoring in Illustration and Animation develop audio-visual projects such as short films, spots, and motion graphics, while learning the techniques of preproduction, production and postproduction.

Professional outcomes: Graphic designer, visual communicator, art director, typographer, branding specialist, corporate image, editorial, packaging, signage, posters, computer graphics, web pages, motion graphics, producer of storyboards, scripts, short films, documentaries, video art, sound, photography and digital video director, illustrator, 2D animator, etc.

The Undergraduate Degree in Graphic Design, majoring in Illustration and Animation, provides offers an education on the creative processes of investigation, interpreting, conception and production with the objective of communicating, embellishing and finding innovative solutions for a product, a brand or a space using audio-visual pieces. The project culture is the driving force of didactics, based on experimental learning through assignments from real companies.

The first year of this degree is focused on acquiring basic concepts of design, culture and project methods. Students learn to dare to create and communicate.

As from the second year, the necessary technological and project managing tools are explored, to communicate simple and effective visual messages through the development of the own creativity and interdisciplinary methodological processes. Students concentrate on acquiring knowledge on Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effect, Apple Final Cut, etc. Also, there is an emphasis on knowledge of human anatomy, the differences in narrative language depending on the animation techniques, and how to give character to a cartoon.

In the third year students begin to contact with companies and also to develop more technical and complex projects, with prototypes and real costs implied, in addition to designs for corporate identity, packaging, signage, posters, etc. Students comprehend the relevance of narrative in an audio-visual piece, and develop a 2D animation short film using sophisticated software for production and postproduction.

During the fourth year students take a compulsory internship in a company and each one chooses a professional profile. They conceive and make a short film emphasising narration, and broaden their knowledge on advanced software to improve postproduction for both video and sound. In the end, the degree final project is developed in collaboration with real companies, where prototypes are produced. In successful cases, those prototypes will evolve and be manufactured to launch them into the market. Creative management acquires a great relevance through project management and the capacity of implementing the knowledge acquired in the previous years.
