Children's Book Illustration Opportunity

This is a paid opportunity for an illustrator/graphic designer to work on a large-scale creative engagement project.

The Lowry is looking for an illustrator aged 18-30 to work alongside a team of theatre practitioners, storytellers and writers to illustrate, format and design a children’s storybook. The book is made in collaboration with young parents in Salford.

This is an opportunity to:

• Illustrate and design children’s story book to be published
• Work alongside a team of creative professionals from a range of art forms
• Gain experience of working with children and young people
• Work on a professional publication from start to finish in a supportive, collaborative environment
• Expand professional networks regionally and nationally

The successful application will receive a payment of £1,000. For this, they will be required to:

• Provide full colour illustrations for the book that respond  creatively and positively to the ideas of the project participants and creative professionals in the team, bringing their ideas of characters and locations to life
• Supply artwork revisions as required in the drafting process
• Undertake the graphic design and formatting of the book
• Supply high-resolution print-ready design files for any size publication, and liaise with printers
• Include all expenses

Not only is this a great chance for you to showcase your illustration talents, you will also be contributing to a great cause. The book will be published in autumn 2014 and all profits will go to support The Lowry’s work with vulnerable children and young people in Salford. 

Open to ages 18-30.
