IRL, the new magazine from the Visual Communication department at HEAD–Genève, tackles a core yet taboo issue : MONEY.
How do you make a living as a graphic designer? illustrator? or media designer? What is a fair price for our activities? What working conditions are we, as young professionals, prepared to accept to launch a career based on taste, interest and passion? Can we make a living from artists' residencies and public subsidies? How do you assert your authors' rights?
To these questions, nine guests provide concrete answers based on their own experience, with generosity, pragmatism and humour.
9 discussions with Félicité Landrivon, Karl Nawrot, Fragmentin, Karen Gliozzo-Schmutz, Martin Panchaud, NORM, Paula Schaer, Serge Bloch and Francine Bouchet tackle the taboo question of money. Going beyond 'simple' financial questions, the aim is to reveal what is at stake and the consequences of certain professional and personal choices made by the people interviewed.
