Why should I get into Concept Art?

A Concept Artist is a designer who takes a client brief or script and solves problems by developing the visual ideas and themes for environments, props and characters, and in many instances can also contribute to the overall look of a project.

Concept Artists works across a wide range of screen industries including animation, games, film and real-world thematic design for brand experience, museums and theme parks. They use 2D and 3D software to create their work and can be freelancers or fill-time within Art Departments.

Our alumni (dubbed 'Escapees') have gone onto work at some of the world's top animation, games and visual effects studios.
