Julia Scheele – Designer for Casinos, VICE, The Guardian & More

Hi! I’m a freelance illustrator (and graphic scribe with Scriberia) who lives in London and also draws comics, which I have been doing regularly, passionately.

I have recently illustrated A Graphic History, written by Dr. Meg-John Barker and published through Icon Books. The book is available in all good book stores and also through Amazon!

Illustrator and Designer for Real Money Online Casinos

This may or may not come to you as a surprise but real money casino sites invest hefty amounts of money in design. If  like me, you are also a digital illustrator/designer, you might want to know that this is a very valuable career choice. I have collaborated with several real money online casinos on a variety of design projects (landing pages, game pages, banners, animated carousels etc.) and can share the following takeaway with you:

  • Most online casinos for real money are providing their designers and illustrators with all the latest and most advanced design software on the market;
  • Designers are given reasonable freedom especially when it comes to pitching ideas, design concepts etc;
  • Casino operators tend to offer very competitive fees to designers who collaborate on a freelance basis.

So again, if you are looking for a career choice that makes sense both artistically and financially, you can pitch your ideas to real money online casino operators – trust me, you will not regret it.
