This course is essentially concerned with designing, illustrating or researching into sequences - in publishing, narrative and picture book illustration, book arts, comic strip, graphic novel, illustration for the stage, exhibition design, multimedia, animation, film and reportage. Whilst primarily for graphic designers and illustrators interested in sequential imagery, participants include a range of professionals interested in telling tales and making ideas visible - photographers, teachers and people from all the disciplines of art and design.
Recent projects have included a visual exploration of Gulliver's Travels in pop-up book and animation; films on Hepatitis C; immigration; the design of a ghost train; illustrations for the senses; a director narrative on CCTV surveillance; animating The Planets; and surfing in Brighton.
Career and progression opportunities
Books designed on the course have been published. University lecturers and secondary teachers have achieved promotion. Animators are employed as film makers and freelance illustrators.

Course structure
Lectures, seminars, reviews and assessments are held at fixed times on Wednesday each week. Other patterns of attendance vary according to individual circumstances.
Areas of study
Students propose and undertake practical projects which develop their understanding of the serial nature of the subject, culminating in a final project or dissertation. The individual project work is supported by lectures and group events, with students also presenting their projects at key stages to their year group.
As the course develops, there is an increasing requirement for independent and self-directed work. Each student is allocated a personal tutor who oversees the planning and content of individual projects.
Core studies are supported by Research Methods and Advanced Studies in Practice - a diverse programme of lectures and events provided by practitioners, historians, critics and other professionals. Varying annually, these also involve the extensive research specialisms in the faculty and its various research centres.
