Testimonials: Bachelor’s Degree in Video Game Art - Japan-oriented
After having graduated from my degree, I directly enrolled in the 2nd year of the International Bachelor's Degree in Video Game Art at Autograf. I was still working as a graphic designer as part of a work-study program, but for a different company where I'd be given more responsabilities, essentially thanks to my skills in 3D Animation.
Right from the Degree's Second Year, we get to do a lot of 3D and in Third Year, we focus more on Programming. It's very intense and educational. We have some assignments to perform, deadlines to meet. It teaches us to work independently and to make progress.We also got to create our own animation project and carry it out from start to finish on our own, it was great!
Also, despite what one might think, the drawing and perspective classes are instrumental in this Video Game Art programme.
My ideal job would be to work as a character designer.
