Lürzer's Archiv, one of world's leading specialist magazine for advertising, will publish its fifth edition of '200 Best Illustrators Worldwide' in Q3 of 2014. The book is laid out in various categories, such as 'advertising', 'cards', 'books', 'posters' or 'products'.
True artists
"Illustrators are the true artists of the advertising industry," says Michael Weinzettl, editor-in-chief of Lürzer´s Archive, who carried out the pre-selection. "This industry benefits from their draftsmanship, as they add charming subjects and classic artistic talent to an increasing digital business. Once again we are truly overwhelmed by the variety and quality of the submitted subjects."
The photo book will select the best works of 1000 professional illustrators from 66 countries, who submitted about 5000 subjects for this edition. Germany came first with 592 submitted subjects, Brazil follows with 580, then US in third place with 565 features.

The international jury will review the submitted works and assess both creativity and draftsmanship of the illustrators.
