Is it worth it getting an associates in illustration?
I am a high school student who is working on getting my bachelors in communications integrated with media management through dual enrollment. Since I will be graduating college two years early, I am trying to think about more schooling options. I love art and I think illustration will pair well with my major. I was thinking I could get my associates in illustration online after I get my bachelors so I can get a more artistic and creative job. Would this be a good option or should I look at something else?
Inquiries on Animation-related job?
How can I ensure that I am compensated fairly for my work, as someone who's looking to be an up and coming animator? Unionization, contract stipulations, etc. are all factors which I've considered, but I'm unsure as to which agencies I can network with to secure amicable working conditions.
What training programs for digital illustration are there without going to college?
I love art and would love to find a way to improve my art and explore freelance art without it being a full time job.
I'm a graphic designer, but I can't draw. Will this hurt me?
I'm a graphic designer (think layouts, typography graphics, and aesthetic designs) but I've never been able to draw. Seeing as that's a big part of designing, will this hurt me in a real world setting? Might be important to note that I do actually also have a background in photography, so I could take original images, just can't draw. #graphicdesign #graphics #illustration #digital-illustration #graphic-design
What specific factors affect the chance of a freelance illustrator getting a job offer from a client?
I understand that freelancers have to manage their own money, time, daily schedule, as well as their marketing, and various other things. Because of this, I would like to know the specific actions taken by a **freelance illustrator** (who is looking to get an offer from a client in any industry) that they feel are their most important "keys to success." For instance; ● Are there any things a current or previous freelancer would recommend having on a resume? ● What kinds of pieces would you recommend having in a portfolio? ● Are there any specific sites or places that you would recommend getting familiar with? ● Any tips and tricks you used to increase your number of possible clients? Thank you in advance for your time. #illustrator #digital-art #illustration #freelance #digital-illustration #art-and-illustration #freelancer
