Course General Description

Illustrators occupy a unique space in visual culture. Not quite artists and not quite designers, they are both, and their work — from brand imaging, advertising, and graphic storytelling to publishing, journalism, comic books and gaming — moves and influences audiences like nothing else. CCS's Illustration program helps you realize this dynamic medium’s possibilities to convey ideas, solve problems, tell stories and express points of view. The best illustrators are well rounded, active participants in the larger world. No other program offers the chance CCS does to get out and get engaged because no other program takes place in Detroit: a creative hotbed of entrepreneurial opportunity and community activity.
