In Australia, the number of graphic designers is impressive: 22,000 professionals, including employees and freelancers, for a total of about 9,000 companies. Most graphic design companies specialize in 3D Animation, the new frontier of the digital world and animation. The 3D animator profession is, therefore, an interesting industry to choose in Australia and to qualify in, according to Australian standards, in a new and expanding industry.
The course is aimed at both those who work or already have experience in the industry and for those who want to start this profession, but remember that for the sponsorship purposes, a graphic designer in Australia possesses a degree, so a diploma only is not enough.
There are two courses available: the Diploma of Creative Arts (3D Animation) and the Bachelor of Creative Arts (3D Animation) that can be studied together as a package or studied separately. It is also possible to simply enroll in the diploma.
The 3D Animation course provides you with all the creative knowledge, skills and creative thinking required to excel in this field and to learn to bring a character to life. It provides all the useful tools and industry trends to keep up to date with the times at the end of the course you will have a comprehensive portfolio that will allow you to enter the professional workplace. The program was developed in collaboration with globally recognized animation companies, including Pixar and Animal Logic.
