Page 1 of 8 THE OVERVIEW:
Representation. Narration. Commentary. As an illustrator, you’re a representational artist. Your work is often metaphorical, communicating a concept, message or mood through an image. Illustrators’ images live on compact discs, in books, magazines, corporate annual reports and on websites and in other interactive media. The professional life of an illustrator is varied, challenging and rewarding. Some work for publishers. Many freelance. But all imprint their own style on our visual culture through the work they do.  MIAD’s Illustration program prepares you to be a professional illustrator by teaching the basic language of visual communication with an emphasis on problem solving. You will experiment with various illustration media, including digital and three-dimensional media, to create a personal style that distinguishes your work technically and conceptually. As you advance in the program, you’ll build a professional portfolio of work. You’ll develop strong design skills and learn to properly prepare your work for publication. You’ll also gain important exposure and begin networking at MIAD’s Illustration Seminar, where professional illustrators from Wisconsin and Illinois help you realize real-world opportunities and future paths.
