Level 2: It is in the second year that students to begin to determine their personal objectives with regard to realising a truly distinctive body of work; these personal ambitions and aspirations are seen as essential to the creative process and progress of the individual; at this stage the programme profiles practice such as editorial illustration, narrative picture making, word/image association, understanding the target audience and social implications; critical judgement in media and method selection is developed. Level 3: In the final year of study students will develop a personal portfolio of work that will support their career aspirations; some students may choose to follow a distinctly personal agenda whilst others opt for involvement in more mainstream illustration practice.
