Craig Zuckerman Illustration Review

By Kerisha Collins

Illustration freelancer from Scarsdale, New York, Craig Zuckerman can manipulate artwork to show his many advanced skills. His technique allows him to create amazing Nature, Technical and Conceptual designs.

Craig holds over 25 years of experience within this field and his work majors from Health Care advertising subjects. Craig first started out with airbrushing, pen and ink but about 16 years ago, he advanced to the digital mediums.

These include Illustrator, Photoshop, Animation and 3D designs. As you can see by looking through his portfolio, most of his work is based on advertising agencies, medical malpractice law firms and trade journals.

When Craig is designing, he finds it most pleasing when he is a part of projects that incorporate presentation compositions. Lately, he has also been involved with building up a "non" medical art portfolio, which will cover areas such as healthcare concerns and finance.

Viewing his portfolio work, he has managed to bring a concept to light including the means of the project within it. There is a wonderful illustration of this called Eyewash, which shows and open eye with a drop of water splashing on it. In these instances, he has identified what the drawing is and the name for it as it a continuous and coherent design.

In 2008, Craig worked on a campaign for DDB Berlin, for their "Funky sunglasses" client. The concept then went on to win a bronze medal at the Cannes festival. One of the two illustrations also got accepted into the Society of Illustrator's Annual Advertising Exhibit.

Craig has had design jobs with many customers and clients within his time and these include Wacoal Sports Science, LifeBrands, Saatchi/Saatchi, Ogilvy Healthworld, Wishbone/ITP, Roche Diagnostics, Grey Healthcare, Revolution Health, Integrated Communications, MedicusNY, Bell LLP, Corbett Worldwide, DraftFCB, DDB, EuroRSCG, RCW-McCann, Commonhealth, Martin and Clearwater.

Craig can be contacted for additional information about his work and himself. If you want to hear more about his work or want to hire him for a design job, feel free to contact him. - 30528

How To Become Better At Radio Voice-Over Work

By Lauren Hulbert

In the current climate, every extra penny that you can bring into your household budget counts. Well, an obvious way of achieving this is to harness a new career. One such career, often overlooked - but surprisingly lucrative is radio voiceover work. In this article, I want to give you a simple, step-by-step plan to ensure that you have plenty of voiceover work coming your way.

The only way to improve a skill is to practice it. However, the way you practice will make a difference to the speed at which you improve. You don't have to spend a lot of money to start. Just talk to yourself in the mirror and get used to hearing your voice being made out loud. Talk into your voicemail system or use your office dictation machine to listen to yourself on playback. You can make great improvements in your voice-over skills using these very cheap techniques. Then consider investing in some better recording equipment. You could buy a computer microphone and use your computer's processors to help you improve your voice over talent. Another great way is to get into public speaking - as daunting as it might seem.

Most people want to vomit when they are asked to speak out aloud in front of a crowd. It can be highly daunting. But often, you will surprise yourself at how good you are and people are often vary gracious when listening to you. Join a toastmaster club in your local town to commit yourself to talking and getting objective feedback. Take the chance to make impromptu speeches at parties or office functions. It will be worth the effort.

The first step is to get started. Talk as often as you can. The next step is to improve your sound, your control and your range of speaking options. The better you are at this step, the more work that will come your way.

So, to improve your sound, you should start off just talking in your natural tone. Don't try too hard at the start. Listen back to your self on tape and try to work out what you could do to improve your tonality, your dicition and your pace. Controlling your breathing is the key skill.

You should also then try to vary your pace, but keep your diction good. Also change your tonality. Try to sound more gruff or smoother. Try to sound as if you come from a different part of the country. Mess around with intonations. Just try to vary your range of voiceover work and still maintain control.

Become one of the top 1% of voiceover artists in your area and you will find a lot of work coming your way. Simply work on your voice-over talent for 30 minutes every day for the next 3 months. By focussing on this skill consistently, you will develop the muscle needed to succeed. Just keep a notice what you do to create certain results and then improve because of every finding that you make. Before long, you will be able to get a significant amount of work coming your way. - 30528
