What do industry professionals look for when they view illustrators’ portfolios, postcards, websites, and social media posts? Amelia Mack, art director at Union Square & Co, will offer live feedback on anonymous submissions. Whether you choose to submit a file or just watch, you'll gain insights on how to improve your art. Amelia is open to receiving digital/snail mail postcards from attendees after the event.
