Inside Illustration is a multi platform season for AOI Members focussing on a particular area of illustration for each Season. Some content is available to non-members. Every season includes an exclusive Podcast, a Creative Course for members, in-depth Article, Resource, Commissioner interview and a comprehensive ‘How To…’ for those interested in entering the area based on the season theme.

The first season looks at Editorial Illustration. The podcast explores the essential aspects of editorial illustration from both the commissioner and practitioner sides, examining the qualities that make excellent editorial images. With AD Corinne Myller and illustrator André Carrilho, hosted by Rachel Emily Taylor.

The expanding use of motion in online editorial is explored by Derek Brazell, talking to Art Directors from The New York Times and The Ethel, and motion illustrators Rami Niemi, Vidhya Nagarajan, Carl Burton, Nancy Liang and Erik Carter.

Sarah Habershon talks to Alix-Rose Cowie about her role as Art Director of G2 at The Guardian newspaper, the approach to take for the tone of the illustration, keeping a welcome sense of humour, and needing “an artist who will really understand the copy and get to the heart of the story”. And more!
