The Illustration of Humanity and Everyday Life

As we all know, before photographs were invented, people widely used illustrations to visually represent concepts and ideas. Illustrations played a huge part in history as they were seen in caves in vivid drawings and paintings containing detailed events of human lives back then.

Illustrations are thus considered as the first records of human activity. Even before humans learned writing, they have learned illustrating their surroundings and life events.

Illustration is one of the earliest forms of human communication.

Even today, illustrations play a major role in our day to day lives. As we can observe, children learn easily when texts are incorporated with illustrations of any kind. Even adults like looking at illustrations while reading texts because, honestly, illustrations make long texts bearable. Illustrations help us visualize ideas, concepts, or texts more clearly and more easily.

There are considerably many types of illustrations, a lot of different methods and skills to create them, and various illustrators who made a big impact in the world of arts and crafts. And whether or not you are an art enthusiast, I’m sure you will find the examples of illustration found in this article worth your time.

What Is an Illustration Design?

An illustration design is a design intended to represent certain topics or subjects. It represents a specific topic or idea and they may usually support texts in books, newspapers, magazine and other print materials in order to convey the information better.

Usually, an illustration design is created for publication purposes and may also be considered as an advertisement or a commercial of different industries (e.g. business, education, etc). They usually present an illustration which radiates character and personality and, depending on the illustrator, may contain a little humor.
