"As an alumni of East Coast College, with over 30 years' experience both in commercial design and education, it has been a pleasure to teach 3D modelling and rendering using Blender to Digital Design students. This progressive course gives learners the creative tools and techniques needed to succeed in the creative industries and combined with excellent mentoring and support, learners can expect to enter the workplace with confidence. If I were starting out on my own learning journey again, this is the course I would be on."

Shaun Moulding-3D Generalist and Graphic Design

This course is grounded in art and design and will suit anyone who is committed and passionate about art, digital design and photography. It will prepare you for progression to Level 3 Art and Design or Level 3 Digital Design and Photography, and potentially an exciting and challenging job in the creative and digital skills industries.

You will complete a variety of projects throughout the year including exploring visual communication, design development, research and ideas, advertising, 3D design, concept art, illustration and typography. You will also build a digital sketchbook and diverse creative portfolio.

Working alongside other creative students you will explore a range of digital processes and traditional hands-on techniques such as printmaking, photography and model making.
