Today we were given a lecture on Illustration. I found the lecture interesting as Illustration is a subject that I am interested in but do not know much about. I assumed that any drawing in any form could be classed as an Illustration but we were told that illustration is 'strategic image making used within the context of visual communication to convey a concept or meaning.' Essentially, for something to be classed as Illustration it needs to have a purpose, it needs to be communicating something.
We looked at a number of illustrators which allowed us to see a huge variety in the style of practise. I particularly liked work by Saul Steinberg and Steve Powers. Some of the work is shown below.
