The object of the course
Do you want to deepen your knowledge and skills in creating 2D graphics for a game? The course lets you in on how to improve on your skills when creating assets for advanced games utilizing 2D graphics.

After completing this course, you will be prepared to work as 2D artist in any game development project. You will be further introduced to most important tools and techniques for 2D graphic creation.

Course competences
Systems and methods in ICT
Game production competence

The learning objectives of the course
The student who completes the course is able to produce more complex graphical assets for a 2D game using his or her own designs, as well design UI elements and produce background assets. The student understands principles of visual design as a part of game development and design.

The student learns further techniques, tools and methods for producing assets. The student is able to work in game development team to design and produce technically valid assets.

Sisältö

In the course you will be introduced to advanced software and hardware tools, technical requirements and workflow for creating 2D and UI assets in a game development project.

Opetusmenetelmät

THE DESCRIPTION WILL BE UPDATED, CHANGES MAY OCCUR.

The primary mode of delivery is a combination of in-class activities on campus and on-line lectures. The lectures will be recorded to support opportunities for 24/7 learning. The in-class activities deepen the learning in the forms of tutorials, individual and group works, reflection and guidance.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

Sinulla on oikeus hakea osaamisen tunnistamista ja tunnustamista, jos sinulla on aiemmin hankittua osaamista (esimerkiksi muualla suoritettuja korkeakouluopintoja), joita voidaan katsoa hyväksi nyt suoritettavaan tutkintoon.

Osaamisen tunnistamisessa ja tunnustamisessa on kolme päätapaa: hyväksilukeminen (korvaaminen, sisällyttäminen) ja muulla tavoin hankitun osaamisen tunnistaminen ja tunnustaminen sekä opinnollistaminen. Lisätietoa JAMKin tutkintosäännössä, luku 17.

Opiskelijan ajankäyttö ja kuormitus

Yksi opintopiste tarkoittaa laskennallisesti keskimäärin 27 tunnin työtä eli viiden opintopisteen opintojakson kuormitus on noin 135 h. Kuormitus jakautuu eri tavoin opintojakson toteutustavasta riippuen.
