Screen Designers perform a vital creative role as they work with Directors to create a visual world that supports both characters and the story...

The Screen Design department at AFTRS currently offers the following postgraduate level courses specifically for art directors & production designers:

GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN PRODUCTION DESIGN

REDIRECT YOUR DESIGN AND ARTISTIC SKILLS TOWARDS DESIGNING ON-SCREEN STORIES.

Utilise your visual skills in art, observation, research and design to tell stories. This course will give you the conceptual and logistical skills needed to visually interpret a screen project as well as the communication and documentation skills needed to collaborate on projects. Creating a production's design that translates, supports and gives life to a director's story is an exciting achievement. You will study visual storytelling by analysing and exploring a script in regard to story, characters, themes and stylistic elements. Through a series of intensive collaborative exercises and workshops with students from other specialisations, you will have an opportunity to put the creative and practical elements of production design into practice.
