What kind of specialist are we looking for?
We need a specialist who, besides being creative, understands the children's audience.
An illustration being pretty is not enough. It must match the child's age, be understandable, emotional and consistent with the book's content.
If you can give a character personality, convey the atmosphere of a story through a drawing, and the question "what will the child feel looking at this picture?" matters to you — we want to see you on our team.
We offer:
•Steady work with children's books;
•Creative projects and interesting tasks;
•Opportunity for professional growth as an illustrator;
•A creative and supportive team;
•Feedback and collaborative work during the work process;
•Working conditions and salary are discussed during the interview.
How to apply?
Send your resume and portfolio. If you have illustrated a book, fairy tale, children's magazine or educational materials — be sure to mention it.
