Learn the secrets of the world's major audiovisual companies, investigating the most successful 2D Character Building and work methodology" 

The construction of2D Character Building is a complex process, which involves specific knowledge in iconography and specific elaboration techniques. The sheer volume of audiovisual creation today makes it difficult to distinguish between them easily, so this program takes an in-depth look at the actual pre-production of audiovisual projects, as well as the entire character creation process. 

Thus, the designer will have a much broader knowledge about the study of the aesthetics and culture of the characters themselves, as well as sufficient skills to create model sheets and audiovisual references that highlight the most outstanding aspects of their characters. This exhaustive and detailed knowledge will allow the graduate to take on the role of character designer with solid arguments, based on practice and more advanced techniques. 

Its completely online format also allows the student to decide when, where and how to take on the entire course load. This reinforces the flexibility of this Postgraduate Diploma, eliminating fixed schedules and face-to-face classes to give the designer the freedom they need to reliably delve into2D Character Building.
