Editorial: Illustrating for Magazines and More: The Popular Culture Edit starts MONDAY! There’s still time to sign up, but hurry – book your place here before it sells out again like our May course did! What’s editorial illustration? Broadly, it means anything having to do with text (words). For example, it could be something like a magazine article, a newspaper article, a blog, a news site like the Guardian or the New York Times, or a book cover or interior. Before she was a top art agent, Lilla spent decades working as an illustrator in NYC for publications including the New York Times Magazine, Vogue magazine, the Grammies, the program for Philip Glass’s new opera at Brooklyn Academy of Music and heaps more.

See our students’ kooky collections and cool colour palettes!

We’d love to show you some of our students’ cool color palettes and kooky collections! Muted vintage color and goodness in Cynthia Frenette’s collection for Day 1 of the prep We shared two free days of #MATSprep ahead of the start of Assignment Bootcamp 2019 in February. What’s a #MATSprep? It’s a set of free exercises to get prepared for class, or just to enjoy some creative fun and inspiration, and they’re a great way to see what Lilla’s playful teaching style is all about. MATS preps are usually spread over a couple of days or more, and each day you complete a task without knowing what you’ll be doing with it the following day.

Bootcamp 2019 #MATSPREP: Day Two

Welcome to Day 2 of your Assignment Bootcamp 2019 #MATSprep!

Let’s face it. We all tend to rely on our same colors, and with this download I’m pushing you to break out. Give it a try, and I encourage you to use colors you don’t normally. Lilla’s tip no. 1: I have found that artists often use only bright colors. I’m limiting it to only two so that you try other colors. If you’ve taken my courses, you know that I’m all about neutrals/muted colors, so for this I’m encouraging you to do 3 muted colors. One can be any kind you want, another is a light muted color, and the last is a dark muted color. (Just so you know, I’m using ‘muted’ and ‘neutrals’ interchangeably here.) Lilla’s tip no. 2: People tend to only use light
