Editorial illustrators usually serves customers, who give
informations about themselves, such as their text, brand

also depends on these three kinds of information, which needs

"The 20th century saw a lot of innovation in editorial design. Due to the rising popularity of magazines, magazine cover art and illustrations became a new way for designers to display their creativity."

The earliest can be traced back to the ancient murals, to handwritten books, and then to the book engraving. These are all illustrated.

Interview with pilibeibei

Quention list
1.Do you still remember the first time you received a client, or a painting with economic return, how did they find you?
2.Did you give yourself a rule about how many days to produce a work?
3.And what about the direction of this kind of work are you, for example, in terms of characters at one time and landscapes at the next?
4.Do you think painting style is deliberately developed? How do you develop a certain feeling?

· A deep understanding of the text or the things needed to illustrate is conducive to the expression of the painting.

· You need to think about specific visual metaphors.

· You may need to make two or three changes and do them quickly.

· To edit illustrations, you need to coordinate with articles or videos to give the audience another perspective to understand.

· It is possible to achieve what they want to express quickly by investigating customers' past illustrations in advance. It also reduces the number of modifications.

Reflection
I didn't ask the right questions, If there is a next time, it should be improved,for example:1. How to deal with repeated modifications by customers?2. What should be the process of drawing for the article?
