Description
A seminar devoted to bringing local or national/international artists, business owners, etc. on campus and virtual visits, as well as location field trips for discussions about the aspects of the practice: business maintenance, entrepreneurship, self-promotion, ethics and guidelines, contracts, records, taxes, billing, and other issues that are supported by the graphic artist guild standards and practices and supported by the IPA (Illustrators Partnership Association). Additionally in this course, students will create their own tools of professional practice promotion (social media, website, leave-behind, image identity, logo, business card, postcard, etc.) for use in their practice that will give the student an early start to promoting their professional work. This work will be implemented immediately in the fall course, Illustration in Action: Networking and Exhibition.
