My chosen category is Publishing and Book design.

Tatiana Boyko
I love how she draws nature, she has a good use of pattern and colour. The simple cut outs for her 'jungle book' cover are really effective.
She does some work in book covers and narrative, but also she has done advertising for perfume, made zines, and done editorial work. It is hard to find an illustrator who only does book design because usually book covers are only done by already known illustrators.
I like her work because she has a great sense of colour, also her simplicity in shapes which are then all layered up to create a composition works really well.
She has her own website as well as an instagram through which she promotes herself.
Bill Bragg
I looked at his work quite a bit last year when working with narrative, I feel like his illustrations are really effective in telling a story. His compositioning is really well done, there is a lot of atmosphere behind his pieces which is vey important. His use of dark, limited colour palette and placement of light is really effective in drawing attention to certain aspects as well as creating different moods.
He works a lot with narrative and sequential imagery in his graphic novels, but he also does a lot of book covers and illustrates pages within books - has done a lot with the folio society. He also works with editorial pieces. He has his own website to promote himself.
Laura Carlin
I have looked at her work a lot before but never knew she worked so much with books and narrative. I love her loose, naive drawing style mixed with use of collage. The illustrations she did for 'Iron Man' have a 3D feel because of how she photographed elements which gave them a shadow which gives the book a more interactive feel. She wrote and illustrated her own book, does a lot of editorial work as well as book covers and book illustrations. Although her drawings look very loose and almost 'childish' it is clear that she puts a lot of thought into composition in order to communicate certain atmospheres. She is part of 'Heart Agency' and does not have her own website.
Katt Frank
I recently thought of maybe going down the path of illustrating recipe books, which would be more under the 'children's book and education' path, but I looked up Katt Frank anyway. I'm a big fan of watercolour illustrations and really like her studies of food. I also found her mixture of watercolour and photos interesting, they work well together. She has done quite a lot of work with recipe books, but also with wedding invitations and has done some book illustrations. She doesn't have a website but is on tumblr, instagram and behance to promote herself.
Oyvind Torseter
I have only just discovered his work, but I love the rawness of his book illustrations. He hand makes/cuts out shapes and mixes with drawn image which is all collected onto a sort of set. In the book 'my fathers arms are a boat' he purposely makes it look like a set, allowing it to look a bit rough which I really like as it celebrates the hand made by drawing attention to the fact that it has not been cleaned up and digitalised. I've not done much paper cut before but I love the aesthetic of having bits of drawing popping out with drawing in the background to create a physical foreground and background. He doesn't do much to promote himself here - he doesn't have a website or anything updated regularly, and is not very well known here but is in Norway.
