"They put me in graphic design and I was one of two people who did illustration there.

Leaving the day job for a creative career "I was working in a data entry job which was incredibly depressing. "Nothing motivates you as much as someone giving you a brief."

She uses her own experiences to discuss ten myths about illustration. Myth 1: Illustrators only work in publishing Illustration is everywhere. “From my experience, some areas of illustration are: Editorial illustration in magazines or newspapers, Children's book illustration, Advertising and licensing designs, used on products and giftware. “I admit that my favourite illustrator is Quentin Blake, the illustrator of Roald Dahl's books for children. “However, an overlooked sector in illustration is education. “An area that is growing larger is digital illustration for websites, apps and e-books.

L’idée était alors de produire un OS extrêmement compact, consommant peu de mémoire et capable de répondre aux besoins de systèmes embarqués.
