Games Art and Design

Games Art and Design students develop the skills and concepts to be able to produce art that communicates – whether it is at the early stages of preproduction or implementing in-engine assets for interaction. Combining disciplines such as concept art and illustration , 3D sculpting and modelling, animation, game engine scripting, and game production, students come together to collaborate on playable, marketable games. The focus is on gaining an understanding of all aspects of the game production pipeline and finding particular areas to dive deep and excel, and to build a portfolio that will impress at the industry level.

Games Art and Design graduates have gone on to work all over the world and have worked on films like Furious 7, Fantastic Four, The Hobbit and more.

Concept Design & Illustration

Assignment 1 of GAD373 focuses on designing a Model Packet including technical turnarounds that can be utilised by 3D artists to create models of their works. The emphasis is on utilising real references and artistic inspiration to design a character with outfits or armour. The assignment requires the creation of turnarounds and a final representative illustration showcasing the character’s design and personality

Digital Painting

GAD374 focuses on teaching students the required digital painting skills to enter the Video Game Industry. The assignment focuses around applying our studies throughout the semester, while simultaneously teaching them how to design for an existing
IP (Intellectual Property). The two assessments focus on designing for League Of Legends, creating a hero or map design that fits the style of the game and meets the gameplay design needs and an illustration or ‘Splash Art’ to showcase the designs.
