ICON6 Video: The Future of Publishing Part 2
Yesterday I posted Part 1 of the opening keynote address from the ICON6 Illustration Conference, 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).
Today I’d like to share Part 2 of the presentation, where Wyatt Mitchell and Jeremy Clark discuss their recent collaboration to create a new cross-platform approach to WIRED magazine, and what that might mean for Illustrators and other creative professionals.

Thank you so much for putting this us Thomas, I find it fascinating and inspiring. I have been looking at ways of developing my own work for new media, to try too take advantage of the new tools that are becoming available. It’s so interesting to listen to these conference snippets, an opportunity I wouldn’t necessarily have if not for the internet and the hard work of people like yourself. Thanks!

Thanks Ben. Lots of interesting ideas shared at the conference. The board put together a very mixed bag of unique viewpoints. Looking forward to ICON7 in two years.
Uhhhhh, regarding Wyatt Mitchel’s comment ‘do we pay for the illustration and get the animation for free? do we pay for the animation and get the image for free?’
Really, I hope this statement was just something he said while thinking of something else… No wonder the audience bristled… animation will be an ADDITIONAL revenue stream NOT a feature to sweeten the deal. Why would anyone choose to agonize over the very frustrating effort to learn how to move their work unless they were going to be compensated for it?
Okay, so maybe I jumped the gun… a little… it sounds like they are coming to grasp with what is an incorrect (and long held) way of thinking. This could be a lot better for artists than any of us have considered…
