Join the AOI and guest speaker Tess Redburn to learn how to shape a clear, compelling narrative through your illustration portfolio.
This session will cover how to highlight your strength, create visual cohesion, and present your work in a way that resonates with the clients you want to attract. We'll dive into editing, layout, showing work in progress and self-authored work, and artist statements – bringing it all together to tell your unique story.
Please note: the event will be recorded and made available to all those who sign up for a limited time only. We recommend attending live for the valuable opportunity to ask your burning questions.
This session will be delivered by Tess Redburn
