The illustrated survival guide
In English and Italian. Softcover, 72 pages, 18 x 13 x 0.5 cm. Corraini Edizioni, December 2020.
An illustrated survival guide for illustrators, a map to orient yourself in the immensity of the profession and a glimpse behind the scenes, including covers, illustrated books, self-production, contracts and international meetings.
The Illustrated Survival Guide is back in an extended version, with a new chapter dedicated to editorial illustration and an expansion on the topic of the portfolio, and attempts to respond to the many 'How do you do this?' in creative, design and market management. How to make a cover, how to contact an art director, how to use social media for self-promotion.
With texts by Ivan Canu (director of Mimaster Illustrazione) and Giacomo Benelli (pedagogical coordinator of Mimaster Illustrazione) and tips from internationally renowned art directors, editors and illustrators such as Matt Dorfman, Emiliano Ponzi, Riccardo Vecchio, Noma Bar, Katsumi Komagata and Beatrice Alemagna, The Illustrators Survival Guide is the first in a series of books dedicated to the professions of the publishing sector.
