Ever So Awesome Illustration
Illustration is one of the most primitive mediums of communication and an ancient genre of art. Illustration has been in practice of the human race even before the words and languages were invented and Egyptian hieroglyphics is one such example. Illustration art offers artists a certain kind of freedom of expression. From comics to character-making, illustration has its strong impact in the individual as well as commercial designing. Many years ago businesses used to feel unpleased at using illustrations in their marketing materials. However, today, the use and influence of illustrations is growing right along. Unlike simple graphic designers, who develop logos, brochures, post cards, business cards and similar communication, Illustration designers are frequently expected to create lively, character-driven illustrations with personality and often a touch of humor. Using color illustrations on printed flyers can help create buzz for a nightclub event, a grand opening, or a sale.

How Important is Sketching for Your Designing
Sketching is an interesting, yet a powerful element of graphic designing process. To put it correctly, sketching can be termed as ‘the mother of graphic arts’. Nowadays, the general perception about sketching is that it is either a part of initial training given to Fine Arts students or it’s a good hobby for anyone who can draw well. What most of us don’t know (and some of us don’t want to know) is that sketching is almost an inevitable part of graphic designing. Layouts for printed flyers, postcards, and posters can all be improved using sketching. Some professional designers restrain themselves from sketching, often deliberately seldom, by chance. Reason for deliberate avoidance is that either the designers are too much ‘in the air’ that they consider sketching a freshmen’s way of designing or they are too lazy and don’t bother to make a sketched design before going onto computers. Lack of sketching talent is another reason for not indulging into this practice very often.
