VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

If you’ve ever admired the way the Spider-Verse looks or the fact that Spongebob wears square pants, you can thank a Visual Development Artist. They’re the ones who focus on the ideation and execution of art for animation, gaming, comics, toy design, publishing, advertising, and more.

Unsure whether the Entertainment Arts or Illustration Program is the right fit? Visual Development students will work primarily on 2D concepts EA Animation students do this and make their concepts come to life using 3D and time-based animation software and methods. If you love to draw and paint and know you want to work in the fields of animation or stylized games, Vis Dev may be for you. 

Through coursework and hands-on production experience, you’ll build your portfolio and gain an in-depth understanding of how entertainment industry pipelines work.
