Talking about Authorship
HELLER: The MFA design program that I co-chair at the School of Visual Arts is called âThe Designer as Authorâ and the MFA program that you chair is called âIllustration as Visual Essay.â Although the words in the titles may be different, the meaning is the same. Both of us believe that designers and illustrators should tell stories, create narratives, and otherwise become creators of their own fundamental content. In other words, they should be authors in the broadest and narrowest senses. Of course, âshouldâ is a loaded word, and not everyone should or can be what we tell them to be. But we are proposing alternatives to conventional practice. In graphic design, authorship does not have the same history as illustration, and even our definition is somewhat different, so for the sake of clarity, what do you mean by the term âauthorâ?
ARISMAN: The illustrator as author is a self-appointed state of mind. Aside from using your talents to visualize someone elseâs thoughts and beliefs (the author of the piece you are illustrating), you become the author of your own stories and beliefs. This is self-improvement. You assign yourself an issue that you are deeply involved in. You give yourself permission to illustrate it. You use your illustrative abilities to help clarify your own life experience. You find a way to pay for it. This is not in opposition to continuing to accept commissions in a more traditional way. It isnât either/orâit is both.
