Visual Development

Nicole Vrabel

Visual Development, part of the Illustration major, employs art and design to build vivid worlds for feature, series-length and printed entertainment.

If you’ve ever admired the way the Spider-Verse looks or the fact that Spongebob wears square pants, you can thank a Visual Development Artist. They’re the ones who focus on the ideation and execution of art for animation, gaming, comics, toy design, publishing, advertising and more.
