Games Design is the art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game for entertainment, educational, exercise, or experimental purposes. As the sector has developed and evolved, it has become clear that the elements and principles of games design can also be applied to other interactions, and the activities and processes to solve problems by applying characteristics of game elements are increasingly valuable transferable skills that are recognised in other areas. Future Skills Games Design course develops skills in the design, development, production and marketing of games – all skills needed for employment within the sector. Topics are designed to engage students and include 3D environments, animation and digital graphics. Unity, 3D Studio Max, Adobe CC Suite and Maya are all available in our highly-specified games development suites to ensure that our future designers and game specialists are fully prepared to step into a successful career.
