This module will introduce you to digital sculpting techniques. The focus will be on sculpting a portfolio of multi-resolution elements, one of which will then be developed into a game-ready asset. You will be taught the software starting with the initial theory through to its application in practical projects. You will also learn how these toolsets relate to current industry pipelines.

The practical knowledge taught in the module will be applied to a series of assignment tasks, these assignment tasks will involve research and ideation, digital sculpting, 3D modelling, texturing and portfolio presentation. You will be expected to develop your own concepts that fit in with the assignment criteria, create these in the sculpting software, complete the pipeline by taking one of the sculpts through to a final game-ready asset and present the portfolio of work, giving particular consideration to aesthetics.

The following GAME attributes are developed in this module, Resilience, Effective Communicator and Lifelong Learner.

In this module you will be introduced to key ideas and theories relating to contemporary graphic design practice. You will develop the necessary research and communication skills to produce a piece of designed writing that explores some of the issues and themes covered. You will consider and explore the links between graphic design theory and practice. The theory you develop will feed into the designs you create in other modules, this may cover concepts such as juxtaposition, understanding of hierarchy as well as authorship and the history of graphic design. The module will also give you the skills to relate graphic design to other related disciplines such as illustration and photography. Lectures, seminars, workshops and visits will help you to explore the historical, critical and cultural contexts of graphic design practice. This will enable you to contextualise the theories covered and present your findings in an accessible format. Graduate Attributes: Effective Communicator, Global Citizen
