About the Advanced Media Lab at North Carolina State University’s College of Design
The Advanced Media Lab at the North Carolina State University College of Design leverages an array of technologies to create images, animation, and interactive projects. To address the needs of contemporary artists and designers, they offer students a foundation for working with a range of digital tools, an awareness of formal relationships, and strategies for generating and refining design solutions. Students in the program are individuals who synthesize both traditional and digital skills. While there are many ways to apply the knowledge gained in the program, it is geared toward those who are interested in sequential art, digital illustration, digital modeling, compositing, character animation, motion graphics, and multimedia interactive projects.
