Illustrator Jobs in Michigan

In the commercial art industry, an Illustrator is responsible for creating artwork to articulate concepts and ideas that represent a company's brand, product, or service. They usually collaborate with other creatives such as graphic designers, art directors, marketing teams, and clients to develop visual elements for advertising campaigns, product packaging, websites, and more. They might also develop storyboards for animations and videos. Their creations can be used in various mediums including print, digital, and video. Their work is integral in promoting brand identity and in conveying messages effectively to the target audience.

An Illustrator should possess strong artistic skills and creativity, along with proficiency in design software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. They should also have a good understanding of color theory, typography, and composition. Good communication skills are a must as they often work in a team and need to interact with different stakeholders. A bachelor's degree in fine arts, graphic design, or a related field is typically required. Many Illustrators also hold certifications from accredited art institutes or software vendors. Prior to becoming an Illustrator, a person might have roles such as a Graphic Designer, Sketch Artist, or Art Assistant to gain relevant experience and skills.
