Description: Political illustration is now rarely commissioned in editorial publications unless it is in the form of a cartoon. This paper discusses examples of political satirical cartoons as well as illustration that is not satirical in its intent but is designed to communicate a persuasive message or to advocate an ideological view of the world. I will briefly discuss political art that is made by individual artists; by the term artists I include illustrators and graphic communicators that challenge governments and established views of society. Finally I will reflect on an example of my own work for the Sydney Morning Herald covering 2007 APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation a political gathering held in Sydney). I use this commission as a Case Study to reflect on my role as a visual political journalist illustrating ideas and events in ways, which could be achieved solely through photography or the written word.
