View source for Illustrator

An '''illustrator''' is an [[artist]] who specializes in enhancing [[writing]] or elucidating concepts by providing a [[Image|visual representation]] that corresponds to the content of the associated [[text]] or idea.

== Description ==

The illustration may be intended to clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe textually, which is the reason illustrations are often found in [[children's books]].

Illustration is the art of making images that work with something and add to it without needing direct attention and without distracting from the thing they illustrate.

The other thing is the focus of the attention, and the illustration's role is to add personality and character without competing with that other thing.

Illustrations have been used in [[advertisements]], [[architectural rendering]], [[greeting cards]], [[posters]], [[books]], [[graphic novels]], [[storyboards]], [[manuals]], [[magazines]], [[shirts]], [[video games]], [[tutorials]], [[newspapers]] etc.

A [[cartoon]] illustration can add [[humor]] to [[Story|stories]] or [[Essay|essays]].
