1. Brief description and aims of module:   

In this module you’ll plan and enhance your professional experience through engaging in projects that expect you to deal with a client, as an animation designer. Working to other people’s specification can provide clear guidance or lead to a complicated negotiation. The module aims to equip you with skills of how to find a balance between your ideas and the expectations of another.

An alternative way to approach this module is as an artist seeking to gain commercial interest in their work, or gain commissions, or complete a national competition brief. There is still a client and you’ll explore how to find success. Additional professional skills will be covered in this module to prepare you for a career using animation.
