The observation of illustrated content designed specifically for the digital context led to a new ongoing doctorate research, which aims to expand the study concerning interaction and experience aspects in illustrated content designed for digital media. Therefore, it proposes a discussion on remediation and remixing present in contemporary internet culture and the possible intersections among formats established in print and audiovisual culture that traditionally used illustrations, such as comics, cartoons, animation, picture-books, news illustration and games. Thus, the present research strives to comprehend the experience of Drawing (as Illustration) in the Design of digital works, focusing on the study of sites and apps specifically designed to present illustrated content with prominent use of drawings. Among a selected repertoire of digital objects, the creative process of Drawing is approached, considering the insertion of handcrafted and handmade techniques and aesthetics in its process (a digital materiality). Through theory review and field work, including interviews with creators of illustrated content in these areas, the research aims to elaborate a framework that allows to discuss interaction and experience through drawing and illustration in digitally designed media. Preliminary findings and possibilities observed so far are addressed in the final remarks. The research aims at fostering diversity in styles and techniques of Drawing and Illustration in the digital
age, and to enrich the theoretical body that supports work and education in Design and Illustration.

These illustrators participated in a previous research conducted with Brazilian newspaper illustrators between 2016-2018. The main research objective was to understand how illustrators were fitting in newspaper's routines and production, considering the multiplatform publishing trend led by the rise in mobile and digital readership. As it was observed then, illustrators were already used to working remotely. The investigation focused in assessing how these professionals viewed the pros and cons of face-to-face working way compared to working remotely. Also their views on the interaction with other fields' professionals, in projects involving Illustration & Design were considered. Illustrators of Brazilian newspapers answered a query and an interview with open questions. Although the original research had not been motivated by a pandemic scene, we believe that by renewing the subject with new data collected in 2020, the study can contribute to the ongoing broader discussions over reorganizing workflows for remote work, especially those involving designers and projects with multidisciplinary teams. This paper aims at presenting and discussing qualitative data regarding these issues.

Thirty-one illustrators from Brazilian newspapers were interviewed, answering the following questions: 1) Considering two different work relationships: the illustrator that works in person in the newsroom-daily and side by side with others illustrators, designers and journalists-, and the illustrator that works from distance-without mandatory meetings, developing his commissions from e-mail and video-calls-how do you see the pros and cons of the experience as a newspaper illustrator in each situation, in your view?; 2) How do you see the future of the illustrator in the news industry? The answers analyzed present concerns and hopes regarding the future of the job of newspaper illustration and its insertion in the productive routines of journalism.

Primeiro, caracteriza-se a ligação da ilustração e do desenho de humor com o gênero do jornalismo opinativo, correlacionando o trabalho de ilustração com a virada conceitual que deu as bases para o jornalismo empresarial de massa, informativo. Em seguida, a partir de apontamentos de teóricos e vozes de profissionais do campo, são abordados três fatores que impactam a ilustração hoje: 1) A concentração da propriedade dos meios de comunicação por poucos grupos e redução de espaço para a pluralidade de opiniões; 2) A situação periférica da ilustração na rotina produtiva; 3) As programações e adaptações das imagens jornalísticas na produção multiplataforma. Por fim, propõe-se uma reflexão sobre o impacto dessas transformações nas perspectivas de trabalho do ilustrador e cartunista nesta indústria.

A pesquisa busca compreender como o ambiente multiplataforma impacta a ilustração e que motivos levam essa ilustração a vir perdendo espaço entre as imagens jornalísticas, gerando dificuldades para sua inserção na versão dos jornais em smartphones. Para tanto, foram realizados uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema; entrevistas com 40 profissionais de jornais brasileiros (ilustradores e editores); além de um levantamento e análise documental de conteúdo jornalístico ilustrado para jornais digitais e impressos produzidos no período da pesquisa. A pesquisa buscou: identificar as funções da ilustração jornalística; compreender como o ilustrador se insere na rotina produtiva do jornalismo; refletir sobre aspectos do design, layout e composição na produção e apreciação da ilustração; identificar e compreender desafios técnicos presentes na produção e experiência da ilustração em smartphones (versões mobile); e compreender como o campo profissional percebe a ilustração e o ofício de ilustrador de jornais hoje. Foi considerada Ilustração jornalística toda imagem realizada por profissional Ilustrador para jornais diários, incluindo o Desenho de Humor – Caricatura, Charge, Cartum e História em quadrinhos – e todo desenho que visa ilustrar conteúdo opinativo no jornalismo, assim como a Ilustração para Infografia-Ilustrada. Imagens fotográficas e aquelas com função objetiva no jornalismo informativo, como os infográficos de dados, não foram contemplados.
This research is focused on the potential of news and editorial illustration on multiplatform newspapers that include a mobile version for smartphone access. The study aims at comprehending how the multiplatform news setting impacts illustration and for what reasons is illustration losing ground among other images on newspapers, making it difficult for its insertion on the mobile versions of them. Our study undertook a literature review on the subject and interviewed 40 brazilian professionals from the news industry (illustrators and art editors). Documental research and analysis of illustrated material published during the years of development was also included. The study strove to: identify the functions of newspaper illustrations; to understand how the illustrator fits into today's news routines; to reflect on elements of design, layout and composition in the production and appreciation of illustration; to identify and understand technical challenges for the experience of illustration on smartphones (mobile versions); and to understand how the field of work realizes newspaper illustration. and its craft today. Every image produced by a professional illustrator for daily news was considered news illustration, including cartooning – editorial cartoons, caricature and comics – and all drawing illustrating content in opinion journalism as well as information graphics that include illustration. Photographic images and those with an objetive role in information journalism, as well as graphics and data visualization, were not included.
