Illustrators use graphical representation to both bring imagination to life and to freshly interpret the world around us. As visual artists, they must learn to express their ideas in application and collaboration, learning to communicate with filmmakers, architects, fashion designers, authors, and many other creative individuals. At the New York Film Academy, aspiring illustrators can learn how to harness their passion for graphic design and 3D animation and visual effects.
NYFA is dedicated to developing the next generation of visual artists. Illustrators can explore their passion through one of NYFA’s programs, below:
Visual artists interested in relating their passion to communication, narrative structure, storytelling, motion graphics, and the integration of design and film, will gain practical experience at New York Film Academy’s Graphic Design School.
