A course by Cristian Turdera
Cristian Turdera studied Design and worked in advertising agencies from a young age. This experience gave him a distinctive outlook on the value of ideas, concepts, and about the power of what an image is capable of communicating. He has always drawn, which eventually led him to illustrate professionally.
Today, he uses both—illustration and design—in his work. He published his first illustrations in a school book over twenty years ago and is still in the field, with lots of enthusiasm, always seeking new opportunities. He has worked for editorials such as Penguin Random House, Editorial SM, Alfaguara, or Pequeño Editor, and many more.
As well as illustrating books, Cristian also illustrates toys and other products for clients like Arcor, Ruibal, Djeco toys, Peabody, and more. He illustrates for audiovisual projects, magazines, and even installations.
