Do not simply be content with any kind of illustration. The 200 Best Illustrators is the perfect
tool for those wishing to turn their advertising into little works of art.

Numbering no less than 292 pages, this impressive volume showcases the world's best
illustrators in the following categories:

Advertising
Cards
Media
Annuals
CD Design
Posters
Books
Covers
Products
Brochures
Magazine Editorial
Calendars

The latest edition boasts an excellent mix of familiar names and new talents. Just 49 illustra-
tors featured in the previous two issues managed to keep their place in the current 200 Best,
and are now joined by 152 new artists. Selection was made from 4,716 submissions recei-
ved from 44 countries.

And there was a further hurdle to scale before submissions could even be considered. Only
those nominated by an ad agency art director or a publisher were eligible to present work -
which must have appeared within the last 18 months - to the two-tier jury. Those who made
it through this arduous process truly do merit the title "200 Best Illustrators."

For creatives and art buyers in the world“s top agencies, 200 Best Illustrators has since
become a standard reference work that is a must-have on any art director“s desk. Laun-
ched in 2004/2005 with a run of just 10,000, the volume had a circulation of 20,000 by issue
2006/2007, and this figure has since risen to 30,000. Copies of the new edition are available
now for just $ 29.50.
