Illo Grad Network: Session 1 / Being a business

The AOI

Discover how to lay down the basic building blocks of your illustration business and set achievable goals for the future.

Are you recent illustration graduate, or in your final year of university?The AOI have a community events programme just for you!Leaving university and entering the illustration industry is an exciting and challenging time. It can be tricky to know how to get started and where to go for advice.We reached out to a number of recent graduates to ask them what they feel they need to know, now that they’re starting out on their illustration career. They highlighted worries such as graduating during a recession, feeling lost, not knowing how to get going as a business, pricing, not knowing how to find clients or how to improve as an illustrator.Do any of these concerns feel familiar?We are answering these questions (and many more!) across four fun networking events.Join us for practical business advice, confidence boosting tips and access to supportive community of other recent graduates.——————————————————————Session 1 / Being a businessDiscover how to lay down the basic building blocks of your illustration business and set achievable goals for the future.——————————————————————<blockquote>&gt;&gt; See tickets options, on this page, to bulk-book all four sessions (and make a saving)&lt;&lt;&lt;</blockquote>Please note: The Illo Grad Network online events won’t be visually recorded.——————————————————————Future sessions:Wed 6 Dec / Session 2 / Finding your niche: Advice on career paths, where you fit in, and finding your way to particular areas of the illustration and wider creative industry. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/711645600147?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sign up here.</a>Wed 24 Jan / Session 3 / Portfolio guidance: Learn how to maximise value from your portfolio projects and how to present them to clients in an online world. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/711646262127?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sign up here.</a>Wed 6 Mar / Session 4 / Building career endurance: Kick off your new career with advice on longevity via productivity, focus, learning and confidence, while staying sane and energised. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/711646362427?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sign up here.</a>——————————————————————banner illustration: <a href="https://www.yakunova.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tania Yakunova</a>
