SYNOPSIS
This 50th volume of the Society of Illustrators’ annual continues the new approach of last year’s volume, showcasing the year’s best illustration. Designed by D.J. Stout of the prestigious Pentagram Design firm, Illustrators 50 presents not only the year’s finest illustration work, but also delves into the ideas behind the art as stated by the artists themselves. Each artist discusses the “how to” and “why” of their art making this annual not only a showcase of impressive art, but also an intensely readable look into the creative process of today’s top working illustrators.
