Agent Meet Up

June 1, I'm waiting in the hotel lobby to meet up with my agent, Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency and some of my agency siblings for drinks, when it dawns on me that I had signed with my agent during the pandemic and I've only ever met her on zoom. Yikes!  I sit down next to a lady and ask if she's waiting for Lynnette and she isn't. Oops. So I move on and sit down and wonder if this other lady is one of my agency siblings but I don't dare ask.  And of course she is. Sigh, missed opportunity to chat.  

Anyway, I finally met my agent,  in real life! Here we are having drinks in NYC. It was lovely to meet up with people. It also made me realize how few professional/industry social events I've attended since the pandemic.

Website Revamp Alert!

 

Screen shot of the new "Home Page" to my website: dianadelosh.com

Tah Dah - I finally re-vamped my website, dianadelosh.com. Now I've done mini revamps and updates but this one's a biggie!

Recently, I had a ZOOM group portfolio review where the Creative Director loved my friend's portfolio. Unfortunately, she didn't love mine. She liked my illustration and my hand lettering but she found my website navigation cumbersome and the thumbnails were way to small and didn't show off my actual art. A big wake- up call that it's time to really re-do my website. PLUS, I could analyze what made my friend, Patricia Keeler's website a hit with her.

Previously my website opened to my ABOUT page. Then you clicked on Illustrations and you saw thumbnails fo ALL my illustrations, then my books etc.

So what's New:

  1. Home/Landing Page with BIG ICONS for each of my 4 Portfolio Sections Picture Book Art, Middle Grade Art, Published Books, Surface Design
  2. BIGGER THUMBNAILS!
  3. Dividing the art into 3 sections allowed for Bigger Thumbnails with less scrolling/clicking. Yup you can still click on each individual piece to see it really big. BUT for the really busy Art Director they don't have to unless they want to.
  4. Moved the ABOUT page to after the portfolio sections.
  5. Added a direct link to my Instagram in my navigation bar. A lot of Art Directors have mentioned how they liked to look at illustrator social media to see other art that may not be in their formal website portfolio.

YAY! My improved website is up, just in time for #KidLitArtPostcard day, tomorrow June 1!
