ILLUSTRATION

An Illustration is a visualization such as a drawing, painting, or other work of art that emphasizes subject more than form. The function of an illustration is to decorate a story, poem or piece of textual information (such as a newspaper article), traditionally by providing a visual representation of something described in the text.

What are examples of illustration usages?

Illustrations can be used to display a wide range of subject matter and serve a variety of functions including:

• re-enforcing brands to the ideas of human expression, individuality and creativity
• visualizing step-by-step instructions in a technical manual
• communicating subtle undertones in a narrative
• inspiring the viewer to feel an emotion or mood
• giving faces to characters in a story
  

Gentry Smith Design is well adapted to the digital technology available, with equal emphasis placed upon more traditional illustration techniques. It is this versatility that distinguishes us from the competition.  As a result, we often mix traditional and digital techniques in conjunction with each other to achieve our desired results.
