Our advice: get to know the artists and visual art workflow at the publications you care about. They are increasingly important as media evolves online, on tablets and on mobile screens as well. While most of these artists aren’t “pitchable” in the traditional sense, become a source for them in the near term to secure a better relationship with them when it really counts.
Also, consider who you are talking to when you are pitching visual ideas. Word people think in keystrokes, artists think in pictures. Seems like a simple point, but it can make all the difference when getting your ideas over the goal line.
