Frequently Asked Questions

What is editorial illustration?

Editorial illustration is artwork created to accompany and explain a written text — in newspapers, magazines, books or websites. Unlike advertising illustration, which aims to sell something, its job is to visualize an idea, set a mood or add meaning to the article it appears with.

How is editorial illustration different from other illustration types?

Editorial illustration always works with text — it interprets, comments on or expands the meaning of an article. Advertising illustration promotes a product, while children's book or concept illustration builds its own narrative world rather than responding to someone else's words.

What skills does an editorial illustrator need?

Strong conceptual thinking matters more than rendering technique — the ability to turn an abstract idea into a striking visual metaphor. Editorial illustrators also need to work fast, because magazine and newspaper deadlines are tight, and to take direction from art directors.

Where do editorial illustrators find work?

Editorial illustrators create images for magazines, newspapers, journals, blogs and digital publications. Many also branch into related fields like pictograms, infographics, logo and character design — exactly the range Ronaldslabbers lists as his specialities.
