Illustration Design - Bachelor - Zwolle

Why Illustration Design?

You are an image creator through and through. You think in forms, colours and atmospheres. Perhaps you already draw, or create magazines, posters, stories and digital images. You want to deepen your creative output. You are looking for a way to represent your view of the world. 

This programme is for creators who:

  • want to discover and further develop their own style;
  • like experimenting with techniques and materials;
  • want to work freely, creating art that asks questions or stays close to who they are.

During the programme, you will explore who you are as an illustrator and what your work can mean – whether as part of an assignment or for yourself. Through illustration, you will learn what matters to you and how you can make a difference in society. 

Illustration is broad and limitless

With Illustration Design you do not choose a medium but a way of seeing. You can work with drawings, animation, graphic design, theatre, photography, games or something in between. You can decide what your narrative needs. The programme will help you to find your own path. 

Space to choose your own direction

You will have plenty of freedom to explore what drives you as a creator. The programme will support you in developing an independent, individual practice. Whether you want to work independently, in a team or on assignments, you will learn how to find your place in the creative world. 

Personal exploration is central

In Illustration Design you will explore not only how image works, but also who you are as an illustrator. You will learn to make choices, reflect and experiment – based on what fascinates you. You will build a visual language that is right for you and what you want to tell.
