A communication discussion, not a money talk. With your panelists Skip Williams, Alyssa Faden, Zach Glazar, Jeffrey Talanian, and Bill Barsh. A focus on how to communicate needs, ideas, restrictions, styles, etc. so that independent publishers can better interact with freelance artists (and visa versa). Most independent publishers are not experienced as art directors, so they do not understand what an artist needs as far as direction is concerned. Sometimes it works out fine, other times they get something that just doesn’t work. Here we offer a discussion and advice on how to deal with these situations as solid advice for both artists and publishers.
