get your illustrations published and your name out there! Zest Books will credit the illustrator on the copyright page and provide a stipend for services. No previous publishing experience is required.
PROJECT DETAILS
The artwork is for a book that teaches teen girls how to incorporate fitness into their everyday lives.
There will be a total of roughly 25-30 drawings in the book, most of which illustrate a type of exercise. The illustrator will be given detailed descriptions of the illustrations requested, as well as visual reference as required. Payment will be $25 per illustration.
The book is 2-color and we are open to seeing both one, and 2-color line art drawings. Since the purpose of the illustrations is mostly to add clarity to the text, the art should be clean and fairly simple (though it does not need to be strictly diagrammatic). We will accept vector art (saved as illustrator ai files) or art scanned into or created in Photoshop (saved as tif or psd files). You are welcome to send more than one approach.
Deadline for applications is February 16, 2012. Work will commence February 23 (up to five illustrations for sales materials). The bulk of the illustrations will be completed between April 1st and June 1st 2012.
