MAJORS Illustration Memory Book

Illustrators are visual problem solvers and communicators. The work of illustrators can be found in many different formats, from picture books and magazine covers to skateboard graphics and concept art for video games. Illustrators work with paint, collage, charcoal, ink, watercolor, sculpture and digital media. What unifies all illustrators, regardless of style, media or final application of their art, is the ability to visually communicate an idea with imagery. Students enrolled in MIAD's Illustration Pre-College program will learn how a professional illustrator works with clients, how to think through assigned projects, develop effective concepts, and translate their ideas into compelling visual solutions. Students in MIAD’s Pre-College program will be challenged conceptually, explore traditional and digital media techniques, and understand, through first hand experience, the relationship between illustration and communication design
