UDIT presents its new Official University Master's Degree in Illustration
Adapted to the needs posed by the creative sector, UDIT, University of Design and Technology, launches for the next academic year 2023-2024 the new Official University Master's Degree in Illustration; a programme aimed at training illustration professionals who are currently required and demanded by companies.
Illustration is present in different areas of society, as well as in different media, from the written press to digital advertising, including the new demands of the animation sector, so companies are looking for qualified, top-level experts to reformulate consumer experiences through creativity, translating their ideas into visual language and facing the challenges posed by today's society.
The Official University Master's Degree in Illustration at UDIT trains multidisciplinary professionals thanks to a syllabus that links analogue and digital illustration, as well as illustration linked to animation, in which students' contact with the industry is sought from the outset through workshops, visits and masterclasses that cover all the areas taught.
Nationally renowned teachers
The training received by the students is given by nationally renowned illustrators such as Jorge Arévalo, portrait painter and illustrator; Inmaculada Corcho, Director of the ABC Museum of Drawing and Illustration; Víctor Coyote, graphic designer, painter, comic author, illustrator, musician and writer, and the international illustrator David Despau.
In the words of Javier Chavarría, Director of the Official University Master's Degree in Illustration at UDIT: "Drawing connects us with our feelings, makes us understand the world and helps us to express ourselves and meet with others, but illustrating is much more than drawing; it is a discipline that puts all our creative, expressive and communicative skills to work. Being a professional illustrator also makes us help other people to communicate their ideas or projects from a visual and plastic perspective . That is why it is a growing discipline in our society".
