About this book

The power of reportage drawing is in the immediacy of the images that are created and the feeling of the illustrator's presence on location. Comparable in some ways to photojournalism, reportage illustrators are acting as visual journalists, proactively creating narrative work about issues and subjects, translating what they witness into handmade imagery. There is evidence that illustrations connect to people in powerful ways whether they are drawings created while embedded with troops in Afghanistan, documenting during a courtroom trial or recreating the energy of the crowd at a rock concert. This area of applied illustration also provides career opportunities for students and takes them out of the classroom and into different environments and situations. With practical information about tools, techniques and coping in various situations as well as inspirational interviews and advice from reportage artists working in the field, this book will fill a gap in this growing market.

Conclusion
Reportage 
drawing 
is 
a 
valuable 
interpreter 
of 
con-
temporary 
events 
and 
offers 
a 
unique 
perspective 
that 
differs 
from 
the 
dramatic 
spectacles 
of 
photo-
journalism. 
Reportage 
artists 
need 
to 
take 
advan-
tage 
of 
the 
opportunities 
digital 
media 
can 
offer 
by 
considering 
new 
directions 
in 
the 
way 
work 
is 
pro-
duced, 
recorded, 
and 
distributed. 
Inspiration 
can 
be 
taken 
from 
the 
way 
in 
which 
photojournalists 
and 
documentary 
filmmakers 
are 
using 
hyperlinks 
and 
interactivity 
and 
creating 
multi-platform 
projects, 
such 
as 
i-Docs 
(http://i-docs.org), 
to 
tell 
their 
stories 
and 
reach 
new 
audiences.
“Affectation 
Correspondence” 
below 
explores 
the 
potential 
of 
the 
remix 
in 
self-publishing 
and 
was 
developed 
during 
a 
publisher’s 
residency 
at 
Winchester 
School 
of 
Art. 
It 
was 
a 
collabora-
tion 
between 
the 
writer/artist 
Annabel 
Frearson 
and 
illustrator 
Gareth 
Proskourine-Barnett. 
Frearson 
constructed 
a 
new 
text 
using 
only 
words 
from 
Mary 
Shelley’s 
Frankenstein
, 
both 
limited 
and 
liberated 
by 
the 
original. 
“Affectation 
Correspondence” 
combines 
traditional 
first- 
person 
narrative 
with 
sections 
of 
concrete 
poetry.
