Deciding Between Graphic Design and Illustration (ft. Jocelyn Tsaih) | Ep. 66

If you're a self-taught designer, the chances are very high that your path began with a torrented copy of Illustrator or Photoshop. And, even if you received formal training at an art school, graphic design is a frequent choice for it's relative practicality and market demand. However, as most people jump into the wonderful world of advertising and art direction, they mind find a different reality than they once imagined as a teenager.  In order to demystify the grey area between the way projects are handled as an independent illustrator as opposed to a graphic designer, we bring in Jocelyn Tsaih to offer a first-person account of what she's experienced in both worlds. As a Taiwan-born, Shanghai-raised visual artist currently based out of Oakland, California, Jocelyn spent the early days of her career in New York as a graduate of SVA's graphic design program. Now practicing illustration full-time, Jocelyn has secured work, commissions, jobs, and more from clients including: NYT, Airbnb, Facebook, Stanford Business School, Soho House, Nickelodeon, and more. For roughly an hour, Justin and Jocelyn tackle questions that include:  Knowing whether to seek salary, cash, royalty, or licensing fees for commissioned work Negotiating long-term deals Prioritizing other goals alongside artistic pursuits Developing a world view on what's harmful yet avoidable https://www.jocelyntsaih.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jocelyntsaih/ https://educated--guess.com/ https://www.instagram.com/educated__guess/
