No matter what genre ...
Whether its book illustration for a children's picture book, sci-fi/fantasy novel, or poetry journal, or maybe the cover design and layout for a mystery novel, romance, or self-help book; you need to know the basics of good composition, balance, color, format, and software utilization.
In today's publishing world, it helps to learn the tricks of the trade by someone who is actually in the field, who has formal fine art and design training, and job experience as not only a freelance illustrative designer, but also as an Art Director to two publishing houses.
Workshops in Photoshop and InDesign awareness, illustration/design techniques, terminology, and much more will be made available through this one-on-one, online classroom.
You will be given assignments for actual books. You will be coached how to market your work and yourself. You will be taught how to successfully work as an illustrator, designer, or both; either freelance, working for a publishing company, or illustrating and designing your own books.
