The Eina School of Art and Design has been training illustrators through its graduate certificate in illustration. Recently, and after nine editions, the specialization programme in creative communication and visual communication techniques, which is a reference in the area of higher education in professional illustration, has been establishes as a graduate certificate.

Eina believes that illustration has become an essential visual resource for the media (on paper, audiovisual or digital support) and thus has established itself as a catalyst to join and link the variuos backgrounds, interests, ambitions and ways of working that coexist in such a diverse sector.

Eina's graduate courses in illustration (both creative and children) aim at becoming a meeting place from which proper conditions may be created for analysis, experimentation and communication. Therefore, the illustration course activities go beyond the classroom and expand to accommodate publications, campaigns, exhibits, participation in contests, festivals or community activities.

This graduate certificate is offered in Barcelona, a city that is a world-wide reference in design and illustration, and within the creative environment of Eina, which was founded in 1967. Eina offers extensive experience in open, innovative education connected to international trends in the area of art and design.

As a higher education center, Eina's activities follow rigorous academic and context analysisl standards, promoting creativity and cultural debate
