VCT: Game Art and Design

Shoreline College ETPL

Students will explore creative, multimedia tools and solutions on Mac and PC platforms, using industry-standard software. In addition to General Education requirements, study will take place at three levels: core foundational design training, concentrated study in game design, and software-based and topic-based study in specialized areas. This is not a degree in programming, but students have opportunities to take introductory courses in industry-standard programming languages. Early advising is strongly recommended for this program. The Seattle region has seen significant growth in the game design industry and the future looks promising. Companies are hiring entry-level employees with a broad, integrated foundation of conceptual and technical knowledge, along with specialized skills. This two-year plus Visual Communications Technology degree in Game Art/Design is designed to provide students with the conceptual thinking skills and foundational technical skills, as well as the specialized training required to be qualified for entry level game, animation and related positions. Technical software training is done partly online with leading industry partners. This can be self-paced, allowing students to review lessons repeatedly and establish the self-directed life-long learner skills that the continually changing industry requires. This learning model also allows for greater focus on development of creative, conceptual skills and team collaboration skills in the classroom.
