Did you ever find yourself sketching out characters in the corner of your notebook, wondering how you would bring them to life in their own world? Did you ever find yourself glued to the TV screen watching the magic of cartoon movies and wonder how such magic could be performed? If storytelling through visuals, motion, and creativity speaks to you, JD Institute of Fashion Technology, Bengaluru, has just the course you’ve been waiting for — a 1-year Professional Certificate in Animation and Multimedia that promises to transform your curiosity into a powerful creative skillset.
This program is designed with dreamers, thinkers, and visual storytellers in mind. Whether you are new to school or a person who needs to transition into the world of creative business, this course has open arms to accept you — no experience at all. Under one year of guidance, students will go through the process of animation with interactive hands-on classes that are done on a daily basis for approximately three hours. It’s intense, concentrated, and with this program, you’ll be job-ready without sacrificing years of your life.
What differentiates this program from the rest is that it melds the best of traditional learning with modern technology. The course starts by grounding the students firmly in the principles of classical animation — from fundamental drawing and character design to the fundamental principles that contribute to real movement, such as timing, anticipation, and expression. As the course advances, the students transition to the digital space, learning software such as Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, and Photoshop. They even get to explore the fascinating world of AI-powered creativity through tools like Runway ML, proving that the future of animation is here, and you’re going to be part of it.
This isn’t a software or technical skill class, though. Throughout it, you’ll be challenged to discover your own visual voice. You’ll create not just animation, but stories — with personality, emotion, and creativity. Every student completes the course with a solo short film project, fully produced, well thought-out, animated, and edited. That’s the crown of your professional portfolio, something you can confidently show to studios, clients, or co-workers.
By the year’s end, you’ll not only understand the animation principles but also be bold enough to proceed in animation studios, game development, advertising, education, and even freelance creative endeavours. If you aspire to construct game characters, construct stories for streamers, or create viral short films, this course equips you to begin.
Located in the heart of Bengaluru, JD Institute provides more than just a classroom — it offers a creative community. You’ll learn in an environment that celebrates art, experimentation, and individuality. And with the institute’s dedicated placement support, your journey from student to professional will feel supported and guided every step of the way.
The animation world is expanding faster than we could have imagined a decade back, interwoven with technology in ways previously unimaginable. And now more than ever, there is a greater demand for talented animators — on OTT, gaming worlds, advertisements, social media, and even education. If ever there were a time to become part of this world, it’s now.
So if you ever dreamed of creating worlds, touching hearts, or making someone smile with a character that you’ve created, this could be your time. The Animation & Multimedia program in JD Institute isn’t a how-to-animate program — it’s about finding the artist in you, and letting go of your ideas.
