For animation/ Game design
1. If you dun have any art bg (anime/cartoon style not counted as a lot will be done on life drawing) pls reconsider your choice as they focus a lot on visual and aesthetic.(so if you draw **** they give you **** grade) They sort of start from intermediate level so peeps with no art bg will suffer coz cannot catch up. (I failed drawing module) If not, go private.
2. if you dun like to work in grps pls reconsider
3. you will do 3d modelling which is technically heavy intensive (a lot of hot keys etc to remember)
4. a lot of things is not taught but you have to figure it out yourself (eg: drawing technic, where to bump for modelling)
5. assignment date is crazy packed with most of the materials you have to buy yourself (expensive course...)
Conclusion: 1 and half yr is mostly individual work but from then on is grp work. one cranky person can bring down the whole grp. and it is not easy to score a 2.8 gpa unless you are cream of the crop...
...Summary: Therefore, Design courses is already very tough and no life even before you step into the industry. If you are not able to put in A LOT OF efforts to research and observe. Dun go into the course no matter got passion or not.
