The word illustration comes
from the Latin illustrate, which means spiritual or intellectual enlightenment. What is Illustration? Illustration is a visualization made by an artist. It is a drawing (or painting, collage, engraving, photo, etc.) that explains something. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ILLUSTRATION What Is Editorial Illustration? An editorial illustration is an illustration created to better express an idea from the text, usually used in a book, magazine, newspaper, or web resource. This type of illustration can’t live without the text. What Is Advertising Illustration? It is an illustration that is used in promotional material, and its main aim is to catch the viewer’s attention. It can be used without any text (only the logotype of the company) but express a strong idea to make it easy to remember. What Is Fashion Illustration?
Fashion illustration can be used to
visualize a piece of clothing before it’s produced. Fashion designers use it a lot in their creative process. The garment should be drawn before being sewn. What Is Technical Illustration? The purpose of a technical (scientific) illustration is to accurately depict an object in order to simplify its understanding. What Is Packaging Illustration? Like advertising illustration, packaging illustration helps companies to sell their product. And it also should be eye-catching and grab the viewer’s attention. The Difference Between Art and Illustration Illustration art is not art in the literal sense of the word. Art is created to express the inner world of the artist, while an illustration is created to explain an idea.
