Become an “illustrative designer”

Add illustration to your design repertoire! Illustrative designer Von Glitschka will teach you several systematic illustrative design methods you can immediately integrate into your design process. You’ll not only expand your creative potential, you’ll also be far better equipped to handle your next great concept, even if it does include illustration.

As Von explained in a recent interview with How Magazine, “An ‘illustrative designer’ is a creative person who uses his brain as his primary tool. This person adheres to a systematic creative process that focuses on idea-building and conceptual drawing to work out their design solutions. Birthing ideas, refining those ideas, and locking in unique and original directions before they ever touch the computer to create their art.”

His work reflects the symbiotic relationship between design and illustration. The studio shines as a hired gun for both in-house art departments and medium to large creative agencies working on projects for such clients as Microsoft, Adobe, Pepsi, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Major League Baseball, Hasbro, Bandai Toys, Merck, John Wayne Foundation, Disney, Lifetime Television and HGTV.

His exuberant graphics have garnered numerous design and illustration awards and have appeared in such publications as Communication Arts, Print, Society of Illustrators, Graphis, American Illustration, and Logo Lounge II, III, IV and V.

He has authored two books. “Crumble.Crackle.Burn” a book on textures for illustration and design and “Drip.Dot.Swirl” a book on illustrative patterns due out in 2009. Glitschka also teaches advanced digital illustration at Chemeketa College and operates the web site IllustrationClass.com where visitors can download his tutorials documenting his illustrative design on a variety of diverse project types.

He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, two daughters, three cats, 3 parakeets, seven koi fish and a rubber gorilla named Morey.
