Narrative Visualisation (IL 202A) The Narrative Visualisation module is focused on the development of hand drawn type to be placed in conjunction with an image to serve as a book cover. Students explore the process of interpreting and representing a narrative and become familiar with the treatment of type as an illustrated element, which is then placed in the context of an illustrated image to form a final composition.

Abstraction & Context 203 (IL 203) This module introduces the student to a variety of digital processes in illustration through the exploration of various digital illustration methods that inform the development of images with digital software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The diverse application of digital software and the integration of Photoshop and Illustrator outcomes is explored.

Sculptural illustration (IL 204) Sculptural Illustration invites students to investigate exploratory processes in illustration and places an emphasis on the implementation of traditional materials and alternative processes in a three-dimensional context. This module encourages students to investigate unconventional modes of image generation and apply them to the surface of their sculptural object.
