Starting in September for Illustration :)

Hey! I'm hoping to study Illustration at Leeds art university this fall and wanted to try and get in touch with some other people who are also going! I've firmed my conditional for the BA Illustration course :smile:

hey!! I think that the main deciding factor was looking at the graduates works and thinking "hey, that's what I'm interested in and would like to do in the future". I actually applied to a few fine art courses alongside illustration, and when the responses started coming in I started to realise that I see myself doing illustration more. if you're looking at foundation, I think that there's no harm done with going with a general art foundation (I know that places like UAL let you specialise later into Illustration) because a foundation is meant to experiment with before deciding , but if you think that you don't really need that extra time and can already tell that you would be focusing on illustration concepts anyways in a general art foundation, pick the illustration one : )
