Create universes, design characters and master narratives in motion: from concept to professional animation pipeline

The goal of this programme is to train creators capable of hybridising the warmth of illustration with the power of professional animation. The Professional Master’s Degree in Illustration and Animation at ESDESIGN is an online programme focused on the generation of illustrated narratives. Here, you will learn to manage the complete production workflow: from the conceptual development of characters to advanced post-production.

The programme masters the technical duality of the sector by integrating 2D and 3D animation, allowing you to merge artistic styles with three-dimensional workflows. You will specialise in character and environment design, mastering everything from rigging and organic 2D movement to 3D modelling, lighting and cameras, ensuring total versatility for the entertainment and advertising industries.

The Master’s ensures the student's professional viability through direct implementation resources:

  • Software Labs: Open sessions for Motion and Adobe Illustrator for intensive technical refinement.
  • Business Pipeline: Design Thinking and business workshops to transform graphic authorship into a profitable activity.
  • Artist Portfolio: Creation of a professional book that highlights your unique visual identity against industry demands.

 

This Professional Master’s Degree trains technical specialists in the creation of visual universes for roles such as: Illustrator, 2D or 3D Animator, Narrative Illustrator, or Technical Animation Director.

"Movement drives us, transforms us, and connects us to our surroundings. Through animated illustration, we explore and discover new design possibilities where we can develop our creativity and take our ideas to another dimension."
