What is happening in the Industry now?



Understanding the creative industry can lead to more job opportunities for an Illustrator. This doesn’t just mean the Illustration world but all creative corners including fashion, food, music, cinema, animation and much more. Following certain web sites and looking in magazines is probably the best way to find a lot of this information. Understanding the wider scope of things can really bring a trend into perspective. The questions below are some of the things you should try to learn when researching the industry.

What is this season’s colour?
Who is the top selling contemporary artist?
Who won best animation at this years Oscars?
Who won the sun dance film festival?
Who is the leading light in contemporary interiors?
Who is causing waves in the music industry?
What are the trends in food fashion?
 What is more influential street style or high fashion?

What is this season’s colour?
Pantone often decides the seasonal colour swabs which are used in both Fashion and Interior Design. These are often released seasonally and have a wide reaching effect on produced design. This year’s spring collection seems to be quit light and pastel in nature. Its interesting to be aware of Pantone colours as they could be incorporated in to an illustration.


Who is the top selling contemporary artist?
It’s hard to pin point the highest selling artist as they tend not to publish their earnings. Most investigations leads to Damien Hurst as being the top earning contemporary artist in current times, alto this may be false. he is defiantly a well selling artist however, its important to keep him and many others in mind.


Who won best animation at this years Oscars?
The nominees for the 2015 best animation award were “Big Hero 6”, “Song of the Sea”, “The Boxtrolls”, “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya” and “How to Train Your Dragon 2”. The winner was announced as “Big Hero 6” by Don Hall and Chris Williams at the Walt Disney studios. 


Who won the sun dance film festival?


Sun Dance provides awards for many different categories of independent film. The list of 2015 winners is quite extensive. So it’s good to keep a saved link to the site and check up on the news.

Who is the leading light in contemporary interiors?

Jessica brook designs have been having an impact on interior design. The more fine art nature of those designs have been increasing in popularity for some time now. Designs like these have inspired other studios and manufacturers to produce these styles of furnishing.


Who is causing waves in the music industry?


This question can totally depend on the type of music. This industry is so diverse and such an important part of people’s lives that it’s hard to treat it all as one thing. despite this it is a fairly easy industry to keep up with as there are a lot of publications surrounding music.


What are the trends in food fashion?
It seems that the most prevalent trend in the food industry is around healthy eating and vegetables. Not so much on dieting but meals consisting mainly of healthy ingredients. Cauliflower seems to be a favourite at this present time and is popularly used as a substitute for potatoes. exotic foods have always been popular and continue to be within the food industry.
What is more influential street style or high fashion?


The answer to this question changes constantly as the fashion world is so sporadic. They often inspire one another but take their influences down different paths. The answer also changes when looking at age range and customer chose.
