The Guild of Digital Craft

Digital Artisans, Makers and Creators

The lifeblood of our digital world.

A guild for those who work, practise and have a craft using digital tools — from programming to 3D modelling. We share and pass on our knowledge, network and mentor. The guild also provides training and other services. This is a community for the craft that digital technology has made possible.

The process

Four pillars of digital craft

A 3D environment, a photograph, a video or a software program — good work moves through stages. These stages are universal, in one form or another, across all human work.

Vision

Every piece of work starts with a purpose. Understand the brief or the problem, pin down the requirements and decide what will add real value — the mood of a photograph, the story of a film or the job an app must do.

Plan

Research, study and learn what the work demands, then prepare and organise before you build: a reference board for an artist, a shot list for a filmmaker, an architecture for a developer.

Prototype

Test ideas while change is still cheap. Sketches, drafts, blockouts, storyboards, diagrams or a quick proof of concept in code show what works before you commit to it.

Create

Produce the finished piece and deliver it — the final render, the graded edit, the retouched print or the shipped release — made to a standard you are proud to put your name to.
