What is commercial print?

Question

Hi...my dream is to become an actress and I would love to try modeling too. I am working on my resume and I looked at some sample resumes. Many of them said commercial print interested them. What is commercial pint exactly? Thanks..=)

Answer 1

Commerical print is for the "regular" folks (unlike fashion modeiling who is for the Giseles, Kates, Tyras, etc).

Commercial print models can be any height, weight, age, etc, there's a market for it all. Basically any company that's not a clothing company will probably use a commerical model instead of a fashion model. Think of the print ads you see for banks, phones, food products,household products families and restaurants, etc. All commercial models. Many actors will do commercial modeling on the side because it's a great way to make some extra money. People don't become commercials models as a career, the way fashion models do, so you won't become rich by doing it, but a one day shoot can pay anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars, which for a struggling actor, is VERY nice!

Answer 2

Commercial print is like modeling. The only real difference is commercial print advertises products and modeling in some cases isn't advertising anything and is purely artistic.

Answer 3

Commercial print is if you have had experience as a model advertising a product in a Magazine ect...
