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
