Your presentation should include the following information:
– The name of the chosen illustrator, historical, geographical, and educational information about them, and the social and economic context (market) in which he/she work(ed).
– Half a dozen to a dozen large, excellent examples of their work.
– An analysis of one of their illustrations as a message: including a description of the sender (client) of the illustration, the audience the illustration was aimed to, and the message/purpose the illustration was predominately conveying and/or striving for.
– A presentation of the illustrator’s process, his/her creative approach, and the impact it has on their style and message-making. Include examples of concept drawings, sketches, working iterations, finished illustrations, and final applications if possible.
– Any other information you deem important to understanding the illustrator and his/her success.
Note: Blogs are a great place to research and find specific information about illustration work and process. The Illustrator’s Market (theillustratorsmarket.blogspot.com) is a blog with interviews of professionals currently working in the field.
