In this seminar, we looked at Illustration as a whole, and thought about what defines a 'good illustration'/what we look for. Some elements my group came up with:
Message
Concept
Emotional Response, aka Humor
Personal Connection
Narrative
Colour/Shape
The currency of the subject matter
Some Key Points
- Image becomes an Illustration with CONTEXT
- Purposes of drawing:
Representation
Explanation
Documentation
Visualisation
Physical Activity - Creating meaning through visual elements is about 'Talking as clear as I can'
- When creating images, keep it simple and effective. "Don't let your cleverness get in the way of communication"
ILLUSTRATION IS A JOB!
