How to Sell Your Art for Charity
Computer Arts Projects - Create & Sell
No doubt you've dreamt of creating your own range of products: putting your stylistic stamp on merchandise without the constraints of a client brief, and ultimately getting the cash in your own back pocket when you sell it. This issue is dedicated to that exciting, liberating and rewarding process.
In other news, we have a rather big announcement to make: the ever-popular topic of character design is coming up next, and that'll be followed by the last ever issue of Computer Arts Projects. We've spent the last few months developing an even better way to tackle the in-depth content that you've come to know and love, and in CAP's place will be a bigger, better, even sexier title: Computer Arts Collection.
With 226 stunning pages every eight weeks, it's the definitive guide to the core creative topics that no pro designer can do without: graphic design, typography, illustration, branding, photography and advertising. Packed with insight and inspiration, it includes in-depth reports on the latest trends and movements, extended interviews with iconic designers, and in-depth explorations of leading commercial projects.
At its core is a ground-breaking 48- page project, guest-edited by a different world-renowned design studio every issue, detailing their creative process from the initial idea, through development, and into production – including 45 minutes of exclusive, behind-the-scenes video. We're very excited about it. The first issue goes on sale on 8 December in the UK, and you can pre-order the whole set now.
