Partnering with the Massachusetts College of Art & Design’s Illustration Professional Freelance Studio program for the third year, the artists were given the assignment to illustrate a 2024 holiday card for WBUR, Boston’s NPR.
Over the course of three weeks in February, I met with the class in-person at MassArt to discuss ideas & creative direction, review sketches and provide feedback with the guidance of professor Irena Roman.
The level of work was impressive. It was a pleasure working with the artists. Below are the illustrations that won me – and, most importantly, the team – over.
Both illustrations captured the joy of the holidays and WBUR.
Thank you again to Irena Roman for inviting WBUR to participate.
