- An image is worth a thousand words.
Is this the reason why in the world of publishing, journalism, media, illustration is used so often? Be it the cover of a book, or the fact it matches an article, or that it allows to make an infographic or commercial, illustration, still or animated, it has become the key to success and awareness of a variety of newspapers and magazines.
But who lies behind the image? An illustrator, naturally.
The work of a freelance illustrator is a "new" job, especially in Europe, also if from some perspectives it could be considered as ancient as printing. Nowadays illustrators are recognized at an international level, they earn a lot, and travel to find new sources of inspiration.
How do you become an illustrator? How does an image come to life? How much time does it take to create a personal and recognizable style? What steps do you have to take to become famous and work for magazines, websites and international newspapers?
ILLUSTRATORS is a documentary that asks these questions to four Italian artists, who are wide world famous and have been awarded many prizes and recognitions: Alessandro "Shout" Gottardo, Emiliano Ponzi, Olimpia Zagnoli and Francesco Poroli. Four people who, through talent and technology, have managed to pursue their dream.
The list of newspapers they work for is boundless: The New York Times, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Time, Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair, Newsweek, The Washington Post , Businessweek, The Boston Globe, Le Monde, The Guardian, London Telegraph, Rolling Stone as well as many advertising and media agencies.
ILLUSTRATORS unveils their personal and intimate side and tells how, by starting with a pencil sketch, you may conquer the world without having to write a word. Because, indeed, an image is worth than a thousand words.

with respect to all their endless drawing since they were kids..i had to leave this mid-way..got kind of sick of the slick shining gentleness of it. thank you.
it's interesting how the first guy was all surprised that he didn't need to know somebody at the magazine to get the cover. that really goes with what a lot of Italian friends have told me about the culture there - people will hire their friend or their friend's kid for a role, rather than searching for the best available. it's very ingrained in the culture that it would be rude to reject someone you know if they're capable of the job, even if they're not the best.
Graphic design is the assembling of text and image, and problem solving for communication, this is illustration, when you're ignorant you don't really understand this kind of illustration, personally I prefer frank frazetta's work and Vallejo and jim lee, detailed illustration using painting techniques or traditional drawing as opposed to flat colour, isometric and simple illustration techniques, but at the end of the day, it is all illustration (though not very good) haha
when you say "simple illustration techniques", you just mean weak draughtmanship skills.
Towards the end of his career, Moebius "simplified" his illustration techniques, but his draughtsmanship was still top notch.
Thank you sooo much for uploading this :))
Thank you Andrea and Marco. Great doc.
Very Interesting!!
may all be blessed by creativity !
Assolutamente concorde con Francesco Poroli. Anche a me è capitata una cosa simile quando ho realizzato il video per Dominic Miller e, a differenza di altre esperienze nostrane, l'approccio è stato fiducioso, diretto, rapido e rispettoso del tipo di lavoro che si stava andando a fare. E, tra l'altro, l'aggancio è arrivato anche per me attraverso modalità di autopromozione un po' insolite ;)
Neat!. It confirmed and clarified many things in my mind
Can a non-subtitled version of this video be found anywhere?
No, i'm sorry.
yes

this is illustration? well so these days illustration is dead. all i see is a bunch of hipsters all having the same lifestyle and vomiting the same 'illustration" style again and again which is just simple and colorful. use adobe illustrator, add some texture to make it look you painted it. wtf
