& EARLY CHILDHOOD
BOOKS

Il•lus•tra•tion

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.
