Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They probably didn't tell you in art school, but it takes a great deal more than talent to succeed in a career in illustration. Illustration is a business, and like any other business, professionals must learn to skillfully navigate their way through the marketplace in order to survive and thrive. The Business of Illustration provides information not available elsewhere, guiding the wannabe or even more experienced illustrator through the process of setting up a business, creating effective methods of self-promotion, finding a rep - or perhaps even choosing to operate without one. Best of all, no three-piece suits are required. Full of tricks of the trade too often learned only after getting burned, The Business of Illustration presents a broad picture of what it takes to protect your intellectual property while also making your talent and passion into a viable business. Interviews with successful illustrators, such as Brad Holland, Anita Kunz and Henrik Drescher, and well-established artist representatives, like Vicki Morgan and Richard Solomon, put the reader on the "inside track". Examples of work from the many different genres of illustration show diverse, yet equally successful approaches to editorial work, corporate advertising, book publishing, cds and records, medical, packaging, comics and still more. Appropriate fees for work in various areas of the business are also listed at the end of the book.

Book Synopsis Illustration that Works by : Greg Houston
Download or read book Illustration that Works written by Greg Houston and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A straight-to-the-point “everything-you-need-to-know” guide to the world of professional illustration for aspiring artists and recent art-school graduates—not only the technical essentials (the difference between narrative versus conceptual illustration, diagramming a composition, mastering negative space, and the impact of different mediums from watercolor to digital to textiles), but industry insights, real-world insider advice, and honest personal development tips from an experienced teacher (“if you say your style is ‘manga’ or ‘anime’ then you have no style”). From a Newsweek cover depicting the Bush family as characters on Game of Thrones; to the Sistine Chapel (the complete illustrated bible)—visual storytelling through illustration has been an important mode of communication in every culture since ancient times. Unlike a fine artist, an illustrator creates images that serve a specific purpose, and successful illustrators need much more than just talent. Drawing on a decade of teaching, including at Maryland Institute College of Art and as cofounder of the new Baltimore Academy of Illustration, along with over three decades of professional experience as an illustrator for clients like Marvel Comics, Relapse Records, and The Village Voice—Greg Houston places aspiring artists and recent graduates squarely in the current marketplace, and inspires them to pursue work in the large and lucrative field of professional illustration in a way that will be personally and professionally rewarding for years to come. Illustration that Works demonstrates exactly why illustration is so important to the way we see and communicate today, and how it can be done effectively in an infinite number of styles. Includes: Thought-provoking assignments - Illustrate an op-ed that’s either pro or against religion in the public sphere - Create 3 posters for an HBO documentary series on sex (that can still be displayed anywhere) - Illustrate a pair of identical twins whose lives have veered apart dramatically 400 examples of artwork - Assignments completed by talented students - Pieces from 50 classic and contemporary master illustrators including Brian Sanders, Marshall Arisman, Roberto Parada, Steve Brodner, Paul Rogers, and Greg Spalenka - Houston’s own pieces, both finished and failed

Book excerpt: The proven, step-by-step guide for attracting dream clients consistently.Even if you hate sleazy marketing and don't know where to start. "Since using Alex's guide, I have been making connections that have lead to new projects and a renewed energy to be in business for myself." ~ Molly Zakrajsek, Illustrator Having worked for myself as an illustrator for over nine years now, I've experienced the highs of being hired, but I'm all too familiar with long, frustrating periods of not getting any client work whatsoever. Early on in my illustration career, I was always uncomfortable with the idea of selling myself. I just wanted to create beautiful things and make good money from it. When no work was coming in, I'd lose confidence and I'd suffer financially. Many of the illustrators that I've worked with one-to-one have echoed similar frustrations. I've spent over the last five years coming up with a way to most effectively win new client work and actually succeed as an illustrator. I've failed miserably, but I've also seen big successes, working with companies like Google, Mars, Kraft, the BBC, and Wired Magazine, and I now make a great living as an illustrator. 'How to Get Illustration Clients' is a concise, step-by-step guide showing you exactly what I've learned in order to win ideal clients consistently. "Alex has mastered the methods for effective self promotion in the creative world." ~ Scott Belsky, Founder Behance, 99u Here is a preview of what you'll learn:* How to identify your target, dream client. * How to stand out to those dream clients. * How to build a valuable, buzzing network of people that will create ongoing work opportunities into the long term. * Where to find those clients and how to attract them to you. * How to generate new projects quickly, if you are struggling. * How to further bring attention to your brand in a way that cuts through the noise and gets you noticed. * How to maintain consistent work over the long run. This book is for illustrators and graphic artists, though any independent creative professional and freelancer will benefit immensely from this. What others are saying:"Alex has provided some of the most valuable and constructive help and advice I've received in my career to date. The biggest and most practical benefit for myself was to figuring out how to build a simple client management system, based on Alex's methods and then how to put that system into practice." ~ Sam Octigan, Illustrator, Fine Artist "Once you start to really implement Alex's strategies you WILL see results. I now feel that I have the confidence to really move my business forward and that is all down to Alex's insights and deep knowledge of the modern and fast moving industry that we find ourselves working in." ~ Tom Redfern, Illustrator Take action today and download the book, including spreadsheet templates and extra resources, and start working with the clients you want.
