How much time does an illustrator have to complete a typical assignment?
(more questions)
This varies from job to job, but on projects that include one to three illustrations usually an illustrator is given a week for rough sketches and week for the final illustration(s). Assignments with many illustrations have deadlines that allow for the quantity of work involved. Newspaper work is much faster with roughs and finals often required on the same day the illustration is assigned. Book publishing has the longest deadlines (often over months) and corporate and advertising work seem to fall somewhere in between. There are exceptions to every standard though, we have worked on editorial projects with three month deadlines and advertising jobs that needed to be completed in two days.
