is the Federation of Illustrators' Associations?
FADIP is an organisation which encompasses the professional associations of illustrators existing in Spain.
Who
can be a member of the associations making up the Federation?
All authors and creators of images who carry out their professional activities in books, textbooks, comics, advertising, packaging, press, greeting cards, animation, multimedia publications, on-line publications, computer graphics, posters, fabric patterns, cartoons, learning games, storyboards, layouts, technical and scientific drawings, among others.
What
functions does the Federation carry out through its associations?
It must work for the defence and proper application of copyrights and oppose any violation of those rights. It must also promote, educate and encourage the awareness of belonging to a group.
We
can all fit in!
We all have the same right to the information. And only by being fully aware of our field of work will we be able to respect ourselves and make others respect us.
If a great majority of illustrators joins together in order to reach a series of objectives, our actions will be more effective, we will achieve better market conditions and everyone (publishers, clients and authors) will have the proper information .
