Each year 3x3 Magazine, the first publication devoted entirely to the art of contemporary illustration, assembles top juries for each of its three shows: professional, student and children's books. An international panel of judges vote independently and as a result the 3x3 show is one of the most unbiased juried competitions for illustration. And they’re the only truly international competition. The 3x3 Illustration Annual No.14 is available in both print and digital editions.

IDEA School of Design students Pamella Pinard (Honorable Mentions) and Alice Zeng (Honorable Mention and Merit) both placed in the prestigious 3x3 Illustration Annual contest. The 3x3 Illustration Annual No.14 print edition ships November 2017. Congratulations to all!

Pamella Pinard

Pamella Pinard’s two Honorable Mentions include “Man on the Moon.” (instructor Pascal Milelli) and “Rooftop Agriculture.” (instructors Dominique Walker and Si Huynh).

Pamella writes:

"Man on the moon is a portrait of the singer songwriter Moses Sumney. I created this image for a fictional music festival that focused on artists who place a lot of importance on their lyrics. I tried to capture Sumney in a close and personal manner to express the essence of his music, specifically his song: Man on the moon. Medium: Photoshop, start to finish."

Alice Zeng

Alice Zeng's “Consumer Caution” wins Honorable Mention; “Consumer Peril” wins Merit (instructor Pascal Milelli).

Alice writes:

"The Consumer is a problem-solution editorial series I illustrated for an article titled "Consumerism & Happiness" that talks about the effects of materialism on our psychological well-being and how to strive for a more sustainable happiness."
