Hi
I’m mega lost on where to actually choose still as I’m hung up on course content. I took a year out just for this reason but agh- I still don’t know where to go. My most favourite course based on content so far is Staffordshire concept art for games and film— as the modules explore everything in preproduction and all that fun digital work/fundamentals— but (I’m so sorry) it’s in stoke and I know how much stoke is struggling atm.
Ive looked at Abertay but the graduate/course work isn’t similar to my plans. Leeds concept art looks good, nice city, but the bar looks very low for student work quality
but it was lovely there. Edinburgh has poor student feedback for animation and in general. AUB and Falmouth idk about— I’m on the edge plus too far away to visit Falmouth. BU was fantastic but not really my area. London is a no go due to prices. Idk about specialising in concept art as a BA due to employment and the fact illustration courses offer to grow your creativity/conceptual thinking/business, but I’d rather not be doing traditional stuff like Lino for project briefs.
Id just really like to spend year 1 working hard on the fundamentals and being moulded into a solid draughtsman and artist for any employer that needs pre production/conceptual work or finalised illustrations for anything.
Maybe animation is the way to go? I really enjoy animated projects and have done extra circular courses on it. It forces you to be good with anatomy, character and environments- software and the more+ learning industry processes. I want to throw my all at it and get a job in whichever industry and whatever role I fit in. I’m mega bad with choosing and weighing the scales with all the details :,)
Any word of advice would be amazing. Tysm.
