ILL-179A: Illustrating for the NYT

This class is designed as a bridge from art school to the real world. We will focus on assignments for all sections of The New York Times, and the concepts from those projects will carry over to all forms of editorial illustration for today's market. Students will expand their basic understanding of the role illustration plays in a daily newspaper, and explore a variety of illustration assignments (political, narrative, humorous, culture, lifestyle, news, human rights, environmental, and emotional/psychological) and learn to develop conceptual approaches to creating visual images that express the complex issues of contemporary life.
