Sessions

Workshop

Ask an Art Director with SPD
Wednesday, July 15, 1 – 4 pm

This session brings together board members from the Society of Publication Designers for a candid conversation about working with illustrators in today’s editorial landscape. Representing newspaper, newsstand magazine, and nonprofit print and digital publishing, the panel will share insights into their workflows, visual needs, commissioning processes, and what makes an illustrator stand out in each space. Following the discussion, illustrators will be invited to engage directly with the panel, asking questions and gaining practical advice on pitching, collaboration, and building professional relationships. This interactive session is designed to foster dialogue and provide actionable guidance for illustrators.
