The Society of Illustrators Annual of American Illustration remains the original and most comprehensive compilation of illustration on the market. Innovative, exciting work by established illustrators and newcomers makes this book the best reference source for trends in an ever-changing industry. This edition presents over 400 examples (selected from over 6000 entries) of classic solutions and novel approaches to clients’ needs for illustration that stimulates and informs the viewer. Illustration categories featured include "Editorial," "Book," "Advertising," "Institutional," and "Uncommissioned." Additionally, this year's annual features the Society's newest category for "Sequential" illustration which celebrates artwork that tells a story (i.e. comics, children’ s books, and graphic novels.) Additionally, this annual notes the Gold and Silver medal award winners and profiles of the newly elected members of the Illustrators Hall of Fame: Milton Glaser, Daniel Schwartz, Jean-Leon Huens and E. Simms Campbell, along with this year's Hamilton King Award winner, Peter de Seve. In all, this annual stands as a compelling and insightful testament to the talent and personalities of illustrators past and present. [Edit review] [Delete review]
