In recent years, illustration has evolved from a purely service-orientated application to an expressive art form in contemporary visual culture so that editorial design increasingly uses illustration rather than photography as it enriches content in a way that offers a wider reach of communication. This book is a guide to image creation. It covers different ways of drawing viewpoints, perspective, palettes, and choice of media. By showcasing a range of illustrators from established names to fresh talent the book reveals the most compelling styles and techniques that are practiced today. English, French, Spanish, Portugese and Italian text. ILLUSTRATIONS: Fully illustrated in colour.
