As a games designer you combine the traditional arts of graphic design, character animation and story development with fields such as 3D modelling, simulation and interactivity.
Games design is about combining and using these creative practices to produce exciting products that are fun to play. It involves thinking of game ideas, and creating prototypes and game elements that will feature in the finished product.
