A course by Carmen Casado Pallarés
Carmen Casado is a freelance illustrator specializing in digital illustration. Based in Madrid, she collaborates with international media, publishers, brands, and organizations such as The New Yorker, The New York Times, El País, Vogue, Forbes, Penguin Random House, Mosquito Books, Samsung, Meta, and the Ministry of Equality, among many others. Her work, recognized for its expressive use of color, textures, and graphic experimentation, encompasses editorial, advertising, and cultural projects. One of her first major challenges was The Honest Art Dictionary, which allowed her to explore the technical limits of print illustration and consolidate her experience in editorial collaboration.
Her approach combines digital with analog processes such as risography, a printing technique that gives her images an aesthetic reminiscent of craftsmanship and the graphics of the 1980s. With a style that emphasizes humor and message, Carmen views illustration as a tool for communication and reflection capable of connecting with diverse audiences.
