ICON6 Video: The Future of Publishing Part 1

July 19, 2010

It’s time to kick EFII’s coverage of the ICON6 Illustration Conference into high gear with the following video from the Opening Keynote Address.

This video features Part 1 of a presentation called The Future of Publishing, which brought together Wyatt Mitchell (Creative Director, WIRED), Kelly Doe (Art Director, The New York Times), Jim Heimann (Executive Editor, Taschen America), Jeremy Clark (Senior Experience Design Manager, Adobe), and Roger Black (Principal, Roger Black Studios).

As you’ll see in later videos, there were some controversial statements made about whether or not Illustrators should animate their work for online applications. The idea of putting images into motion caused quite a stir amongst the audience, and will be a point of discussion in the very near future here at Escape from Illustration Island.

Part 1 includes the introduction by Roger Black of Roger Black Studios.  Stay tuned for more updates on the rest of the series in the coming days.

Special thanks to the following sponsors for helping to make EFII’s coverage of ICON6 possible:

    Thank you so much for filming these lectures and posting them. I was at ICON 6, but couldn’t be everywhere at once and I missed a few speakers. This is also invaluable for those of us who teach illustration and also for those who weren’t able to make it to the conference at all. Thanks again!

    Thanks for recording and posting this. This keynote made for a lot of discussion at the conference.

      Thanks James, I noticed that and fixed it in the second video. I’ll make the change in the text.
