Submission guidelines for illustrators and photographers
At Learning Media we believe in great design. Our designers commission freelancers to provide illustrations and photographs for our resources. Great design paired with strong images brings a text to life and is the best way to engage readers.
All of our artwork is commissioned. The tearsheet tips explain how to send us work to be considered for a commission. The submission guidelines for illustrators and photographers explain how to send us your work once you’ve been commissioned.
