Careers in Illustration
Illustrators have the potential to translate their creative gifts into engaging and meaningful career paths as media agnostic storytellers.
Illustration connects everything from high fashion and retail environments to animation and computer games; from political, editorial and street art to mainstream publishing. Illustration’s unique ability to define social, political and cultural ideas makes it an ideal solution for an unparalleled scope of creative and communications projects. As a result, ArtCenter’s Illustration graduates emerged with a versatile skillset applicable across media, as problem-solvers, art directors and multifunctional artists.
