2021 Sheffield Hallam University Illustration Degree show

The focus each year for students studying BA(Hons) Illustration at Sheffield Hallam University is the development of a personal visual language and the application of it to professional, speculative and authorial projects.

Set against this venture this year, the contextual framework of the ongoing Global pandemic has created unprecedented challenges. It is therefore humbling to witness the resolve of our students who have more than risen to this challenge to create a showcase of beautifully crafted, thoughtful and provocative Illustrated outcomes.

It is to note that illustrators have always been called upon to respond (expediently) to the context of contemporary issues, and as this year so acutely demonstrates, determine the accrued skill-sets to effectively redress the interconnected social, cultural and political frameworks and issues of the day.

We are proud to present the brilliant work from our class of 2021.
