| Abstract: | A selection of today's most successful and important illustrators from around the globe. Steven Heller discusses the challenging process of narrowing down a field to the 100 most significant practitioners globally. Steven Heller is the co-chair of the School of Visual Arts MFA Designer as Author Program. For 33 years he was an art director for The New York Times, and currently writes the "Visuals" column for The New York Times Book Review. He is the author of 120 books on graphic design, illustration, and satiric art. The work included in my submission is part of an evolution of an on-going practice of over 20 years that responds to, and asks questions of, changes in society within the context of Communication Design practice. I do not intend to simply answer a defined research question. I view my practice as a dialogue with cultural practice and society. Using digital and traditional media where appropriate to explore the debates within the changes over a period of time. Participating in publications that explore aspects of Communication Design is one form of participating in the wider debate and dialogue around this practice. | |||||||||
