Illustration by Alan Male
Introduces the concept of the illustrator as a specialist or authority on a particular subject or as an originator of either fiction and/or non-fiction material. This book focuses on illustration, education and theory, in particular the latter stages of undergraduate development and post-graduate study and research.
This book is an excellent overview of the business of illustration.. and this easily transfers over to graphic design ... The book is really well designed, clearly laid out and organised and full of information, easy-to-read text and great examples ... it is great value. -- Andy Gossett, Middlesex University, UK
Beautiful book. Nice large images and a suitable level for foundation and HND students. Very helpful text when talking to students in tutorials about illustration as a career pathway. -- Lucy Orr, East Surrey College, UK
I loved the layout of the book. The focus was on the illustrations, and body copy was easy to read ... The illustrations throughout were interesting and well chosen. -- Janey Menger, Algonquin College, Canada
This book will be a particularly useful point of reference for students who are writing and developing self-initiated briefs for the first time ... I look forward to referencing it in tutorials. -- Philip Trenerry, Plymouth College, UK
Our course has a very strong ethos of academic research and this book underpins that notion but also covers the context of the specialism. It is very comprehensive in its outlook and covers all of the aspects that we cover on our course with a strong emphasis on the social and cultural aspects. * Maureen O'Neill, University of Portsmouth, UK *
A well written and comprehensive guide to the subject, the education section is a must read for third year students who negotiate their own Illustration projects during the final year of the course. * Ben Kelly, University of Wolverhampton, UK *
Very useful outline of career oriented illustration practices; nice range of illustrators work used to bring a breadth of potential commissions and working practices to life. * Kim Furrokh, University of Gloucestershire, UK *
