Putting on a show

Whether in a high-profile London gallery or a coffee shop around the corner, an exhibition can do a lot for you and your career. For one, it takes your work out of the normal channels – the web, books and magazines – and catapults it into the real world, where passers-by can look at your work without preconceived ideas about what you do and where it ‘belongs’. It lifts your illustration, image-making or design work into the art world, immediately yielding you more respect as a creative professional. In addition, seeing your work in one place can help you evaluate your creative process, critiquing your current style and where you want to go next. And naturally, it can also bring you press attention and, off the back of that, more commissions.
