That's awesome. Glad you got to go! Thanks for sharing your notes, they were interesting.

@tessw Your welcome. I feel pretty good about the day. Lots to learn still!

Thanks for sharing that. Perhaps you could elaborate on what he means when he said he illustrates then adds the story.

MOO

@tombarrettillo Well, he does exactly that. He does all the illustrations before he writes the story! I guess he must have the ideas for the movement fo the story but he doesn't write it until the illustrations are done!

tombarrettillo

ok, I see. For stories he is writing. I just found it hard to believe he would do illustrations without reading a manuscript, but that scenario makes more sense.

Quotes I wrote down:

Kristine Brogno - "Books that delight most let children in on the secret (images)."
Dan Santat - "Don't think of yourself as drawing spreads, think of yourself as DESIGNING a book."
- recommends book "GO - A Kidd's Gide to Graphic Design" by Chip Kidd
