Gamers need stimulating images and scenery that will motivate them to complete a video game"

Video games go far beyond a set of characters on a screen that are controlled by an external agent. They are an artistic and unique expression which has been favored by the countless technological advances within the sector. It is, therefore, unsurprising to find games that are so realistic that they make even the most experienced of gamers wonder.

Similarly, many video games have been labeled "works of art" for their visuals and storytelling, creating an emotional experience for the player and an imprint on the industry, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015), The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011).

As such, designers are essential figures in this field, since they will be in charge of developing the visual story of a video game and of ensuring that the quality is the same from minute one until the end of the game. Consequently, this postgraduate certificate has been developed to help students specialize in this area. Students will learn and master artistic and color theories using programs such as Photoshop and Studio Max.
