The results are in for our Futureworks #ClassOf2026 graduate awards… 🏆

This week, we celebrated our creative graduates as they walked the stage and shone a light on the students who earned our Best Piece of Work award for work that went far beyond a university project.

🐝 School of Film, TV & Media award – Adam Higginson, for his final year that saw him building and founding his motion graphics promotion company, Beehold.

🎶 School of Sound & Music Production award – Sam Ebbrell, for the production of his debut album ‘Conscience’ under Kumiho, blending mainstream pop and K-pop with an 80s sound.

🎮 School of Art & Design award – Zack Whitehead, for his fabulously finished and ready to launch game, Nadir Inc, offering an entire playing experience.

At Futureworks, we’re proud to build a community of creatives who inspire one another and develop their craft for lifelong careers. We can’t wait to see where these three go next!

From footsteps to fall damage grunts, there’s more to game audio than sound effects 🔈

We’ve all felt it. The tension of an approaching enemy, the calmness of a forest wonderland, the relief at a helpful hint ding. Take a sneak peek into what our game audio course includes:

🔎 Audio implementation, interactive music, voice recording, immersive audio, environmental sound and more!

Build skills that can open doors in an evolving industry and bring that winning sound effect to you.

“Game art, animation and visual effects courses are all the same.”

🚫 Wrong! While each involve creating compelling visuals and sophisticated digital technology, their names and their courses provide different end goals.

🎮 Game art – Creating visual content for interactive games, from characters to environments, allowing you to make virtual worlds a reality
💨 Animation – Building movement that captures personality, from nerves to excitement
🔥 Visual effects – Creating something that’s not, from intergalactic monsters to motion graphics

At Futureworks, we’re specialists in all three! Choose the one that excites you most and don’t hold back.

Thinking about potential university courses? Feeling like tapping into your creative side? Here’s what you need to look for 🔎

✅ Balance – Look for integration, not just titles. A degree should shape both animation and illustration, so make sure it’s not missed!
✅ Practical Work – Put your creativity into action, not just on paper
✅ 2D vs 3D – Modern animation can do both. So should you. Explore and build strengths in both avenues
✅ Portfolios – Employers and clients want evidence, so build a portfolio throughout the entire course, not just the final moments
✅ Connections – The industry is evolving. Keep up with experienced tutors and creative organisation partnerships

If you’ve got the itch for creativity, explore it at Futureworks. Our Animation and Illustration course tick all boxes, opening doors to the creative career you want.

Bring your ideas. We'll help you build the rest.
