Roadmap to Getting Your Illustrations on Products

Anne Bollman, Anne Was Here

About This Class

This class is for illustrators who have the talent but lack the know-how to get their illustrations on products. Within 2 years of quitting her in-house design job, teacher Anne Bollman was able to create a six-figure self-employed salary as an illustrator using this method. She will take you step by step through her marketing and portfolio development strategy so that you have the tools you need to get your art on products. Students of the class will be able to download an illustrated roadmap to fill out as well as a workbook so that they can easily follow along and establish their own plan for success.
