Pursuing an Education and Career in Game Art and Design
The video game industry has a large global market, which creates numerous career opportunities. The work completed to develop and design a game takes numerous professionals focusing on the aspects that make game play possible. To enter this field students will need to obtain certain skills that can only be obtained through higher education. Pursuing an education and career in game art and design can easily be done by first researching the available options.
The optional programs that students can enter include several concentration areas and degree levels. The primary options that can be completed inside vocational colleges are at the certificate and associate's degree level. Within training students can work through programs that focus on game art and design such as game software development and video game design. Each area although highly interconnected explores a wide range of topics and skills associated with the industry to prepare students for careers. Educational programs train students to understand the techniques used to implement the base codes and the graphic design features utilized to design games. Students should consider all educational options to ensure the programs completed help them reach their career goals. Possible career options include becoming:
- Level Designers
- Video Game Programmers
- Game Interface Designers
Students can enter jobs that pertain more to the programming side of the industry or focus on obtaining positions related to the creative side of the field. Both reward students with lucrative careers in this continually growing field. Programs develop the knowledge of all the key areas that need to be mastered. Students that start their educational training in vocational colleges will graduate with the knowledge to understand the latest techniques and technologies.
Video game and development programs provide entry-level knowledge in programming, software engineering, and multimedia design. Students gain the ability to develop games using multiple computer environments. This often includes using digital media and different desktop software. Programs are concentrated on making students confident when using digital graphics and design principles. To establish career skills and confidence, programs incorporate numerous courses dedicated to the technical side of the field. Students work through courses that cover interactive multimedia, web animation, C++ programming, and 3D modeling. The concepts of game development are explored when students learn about the theories of game play, artist collaboration, and intricate storytelling. Students that step into programming careers will write the codes that make game play possible. The work completed can include storyline maps and character composites.
The more creative aspects of the industry are explored and learned inside video game design programs. Students receive practical training that provides them in depth education in digital animation, scriptwriting, and character development. The technologies of the field are used to prepare students for careers. Animation software packages and scripting languages are major areas studied within a program. Computer skills are essential in this industry and students will explore the different components of the field through specific courses. Topics may include level design, photo editing, and game texture mapping.
Further training in game art and design can be pursued at the bachelor's and master's degree level. Training is crucial to professional success so students should begin learning about how to create video games by enrolling in accredited college programs. The National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and other agencies, are approved to qualify game art and design schools and colleges that offer a quality education for full accreditation.
