Diploma in Illustration

If a picture speaks a thousand words, imagine the signification an illustrator could convey. Illustrators today are more than just a craftsman. They define visual languages and styles that traverse geographical and cultural boundaries. Historically, an illustrator’s artworks are featured in books, newspapers, advertising, on packaging and other printed mediums, yet today, the possibilities are endless as the demand for illustration opens up in animation, web design and interactive media. In the increasingly competitive environment, there is growing demand for creativity, innovation and uniqueness, and this is where illustrators come in. Our Illustration course has been developed in close connection with industry experts, covering a balanced education of classical art skills with contemporary idea development and new media, and giving you the knowledge and insight to advance in your signature style while improving the inherent artistic aptitude for illustration.

Dasein Diploma in Illustration is accredited with the Malaysian Qualifications Agency ( MQA / A5506 ).
