Digital Design at VFS

Faculty explain how our 3 design streams - Motion Design, Interactive Design, and Communication Design - make Digital Design at VFS the best choice for your complete design education.

One Year Digital Design Program at Vancouver Film School

Digital Designers change the way people see and interact with the world – from the title sequence that brings an audience into a filmmaker's world to the music video that launches a new band; from the brand and identity that makes one product stand out from its competitors to the online sites and experiences that change the way we think about the web. The Digital Design program at VFS will give you the processes, tools, and techniques to start your career as a professional designer.

"There is motion, print, web... and the possibilities are endless. The teaching staff is excellent – they are always around and extend all sorts of support. The curriculum is always evolving, which helps us stay updated with industry standards. VFS is a terrific place to start or develop a career."

- Deepak Nailwal, Digital Design Graduate
Designer, National Geographic Channel

What You Will Learn

Digital Design is about developing a wide range of skills – traditional graphic design, interactive or web design, motion design, and video production – as well as knowing which kind of creative solution is best for your client. What you will learn in our one-year program will allow you to draw on all the tools that drive today's media and entertainment projects, and will prepare you for life as a professional designer.

Develop Your Process

The difference between an amateur who knows software and a true design professional is process. At VFS, you'll learn skills that go beyond the tools and allow you to deliver powerful results, whether you're working for a client or realizing your own vision.

Create Your Portfolio

In the design industry, your portfolio is more than just your calling card – it's the key that opens doors. At VFS, our focus is on guiding you as you create a body of work that will get you noticed by clients and studios.

Build Your Network

The connections you'll develop at VFS will be invaluable as you grow in your career. Your final project includes one-on-one work with an accomplished industry mentor, and, along with faculty and collaborators from around the school, you'll have a formidable network to help launch your career.
