Master Audiovisuel, Medias Interactifs Numeriques, Jeux — Conception visuelle

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

This master's degree in Audiovisual, Interactive Digital Media and Games, offered by the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers in Angoulême, follows the Conception visuelle (visual design) track within a field that covers video games, animated media and interactive digital content. The discipline as a whole trains students to think about how audiovisual and interactive products look and feel, spanning graphic composition, character and environment design, visual identity, color and light theory, and concept art created with digital tools. Students on a visual design track typically work through storyboarding, 2D and 3D graphic production, art direction exercises and iterative visual prototyping for games and interactive media, building a portfolio that demonstrates range across styles and formats. Because the wider field sits at the crossroads of art, technology and media, coursework also tends to touch on the history of visual culture in games and animation, collaboration with programmers and designers, and the technical constraints that digital platforms place on visual production. Graduates from this kind of visual design specialization commonly move into roles such as concept artist, 2D or 3D graphic designer, art director or visual designer within video game studios, animation houses, digital agencies and interactive media companies, in France and internationally. Instruction is delivered in French. The program runs over two years and starts in September, with yearly tuition set at 250 EUR. Studying in Angoulême, a city closely associated with visual and graphic arts in France, places students within a setting where audiovisual and image-based industries have a notable presence, complementing the visual design focus of this Conservatoire national des arts et métiers master's program.
