Illustration Chapter 1

The Illustrators job is to create something out of nothing. Each illustrator has a unique artistic vision. Illustration is a form of Graphic Design. Graphic Design is the union between picture and word. Graphic Design branched off from other artists as a specialization. It can be seen on TV, book covers, and the internet.
Pictures and Words have strengths and weaknesses and points of similarity. When combined and working together they can endorse each others strengths and compensate for each others weaknesses.
There are processes to developing a Graphic Design Product.
1: Defining the problem
2: Gathering the relevant information
3: Generating options
4: Evaluating options
5: Selecting the best option
6: Implementing the chosen solution
7: Monitoring and evaluating the outcomes
Within the artistic process the answer to one problem is not the answer to another.
