'SUSTAINABILITY' ILLUSTRATED

Anni Betts

“SUSTAINABILITY” is one of the most conscientious topics of conversation today and a popular subject in the Directory of Illustration’s robust image and keyword search engines.

Think environmental, corporate, wildlife…  think conservation, business, energy, climate, agriculture, science, pollution, industrial, biological, ecological, transportation, to name a few searchable topics. 

Sustainability relates to maintaining a living as if we believe there is a future. 

Images for sustainability can be used in national and international publications, opinion pages, forums, policies, journals, posters, reports, info-graphics - indicating both immediate and future implications.

Images can make you conscientious and visually communicate a company's or organizations's ‘positive or negative impact’ in our culture and society.

There are plenty of editors and art directors who could be interested too: 

“I use the Directory of Illustration as a reference each time I need to assign projects or suggest an illustrator to a co-worker.It’s a must-have tool.”
Monica Alverca, Associate Art Director,
Time Inc.

“The Directory is an invaluable reference when we are planning an illustrated piece. Quite often we go to it with a preconceived idea of what we think we want and come away with fresher and more creative solutions.”
Elizabeth Nelson, Sr. Director/Communication Design,
John G. Shedd Aquarium

“I find it easier to find an artist using print compared to online. Usually I find artists in the Directory and then look them up online to get more information on them.”
Carolyn McClain, Deputy Art Director, Crain’s New York Business

I think you’ll be inspired by all of the images on www.directoryofillustration.com.

As always, I'm happy to help you add significant 'sustainability images'  to your portfolio too.

ILLUSTRATED PORTRAITS

“PORTRAIT” is one of the most powerful keywords in the Directory of Illustration’s robust search engine.

Think editorial, publishing, advertising…  think sports, political, educational, medical, famous and not so famous, kids, book covers, posters, pop art, comic book heros and games. Illustrated portraits can capture the likeness of contemporary and historical people and animals, both masculine and feminine, with or without lettering.

Portraits are a powerful way to visually communicate ‘who is doing what’ in our culture and society.

Portraits are a moment - dramatic, serene, memorialized, real, imaginary, regal, vanity, reflection, perspective.

Whether or not you like the portraits here, we think you you’ll be inspired by all of the portraits on www.directoryofillustration.com.

As always, I'm happy to help you add significant portraiture to your portfolio too. 

Check out a few portraits illustrated by Directory of Illustration artists:
