Design and illustrate the identity for a collection of CDs

A course by David de Ramón

Learn to paint without staining your hands. In this course, David de Ramón will teach you how to approach a very complete illustration work focused on a collection of albums, working both the graphic concept of each volume and the overall sense of the whole collection. David will share with you his tricks and his method of work, with which you will learn to simplify and anticipate to find solutions in your future assignments or projects. You will follow your pictorial technique from the first row, working with the sketch, the hand drawing without painting and the digital illustration where, eye: with a single brush of Photoshop, you will get an incredible finish.

Illustrator and illustrator of letters

I am dedicated to illustration as a professional for 20 years. In this time I have had the opportunity to work in all kinds of media: magazines, newspapers, book covers, advertising campaigns, posters, murals ... for different agencies, publishers, design studios and private clients. A crucial moment in my career was when I attended the "American Illustration Workshop", there, apart from being able to listen and see the work of people that I admired as a student, I realized that I could live from what I liked the most. and I decided that this would be my way of life.

My work has been recognized internationally in Communication Arts, NY Society of Illustrators, Applied Arts, 3x3, Spectrum Fantastic Art, The Society for News Design, Lurzer's ARCHIVE 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide or TASCHEN Illustration Now! I'm still waiting with the same enthusiasm for the next project, always thinking that this will be "the project".
