Illustrationmundo.com - Personal Project

Description:
Illustrationmundo.com was created because I noticed that there were many catch-all design portals .. and great ones at that ... portals that have inspired me for many years .. portals that provided information about design, photography, art, interactive, illustration, film, literature, etc .. but as I made the career transition from an art director to an illustrator I wanted to find a site specifically dedicated to commercial illustration with in depth information and a way to communicate easily with other illustrators. I wanted to find a site that was all about illustration and nothing else .. a site that I could think of as "THE ILLUSTRATION SITE", but there wasn't a site so I decided to create a centralized location that would be purely dedicated to this purpose ... a FREE community based site about Illustrators and the commercial illustration industry.

I programmed a custom content management system could accommodate publishing articles, news, ranking illustrators, site registration, and have a searchable Question and Answer database. I also wanted to facilitate user submitted news so I programmed a tool where registered users can upload images and submit their news regularly. In order to manage all these submissions I created and programmed a custom approval and email auto responder system.

Illustrationmundo.com was created to achieve the following objectives:

• Just Illustration
  


• Show case great Illustrators
  


• Provide information about the commercial illustration industry
  


• Provide a central location where people can get inspired, share information and seek advice 
  


• FREE!! - Participation is absolutely free
