Illustration

 

The magic of Turning ideas into imagery.

When you combine words with illustrations, whether it’s a drawing or an actual picture, the reader can gain a better understanding of the topic.

5 Reasons to use

Illustration

  1. to express a message clearly and quickly

    Pictures can be read and understood much quicker than text. They also transcend language barriers. Making an investment in quality illustrations helps your audience to understand your positioning in the market and what you have to offer, overcoming language barriers.


  2. to attract attention

    Great illustrations attract attention. They naturally draw people’s interest and curiosity, especially when they’ve been created with a specific audience in mind. When combining illustration and text, audiences are more likely to read, engage with and understand the intended message.


  3. to keep a Consistent brand identity

    Add interest and consistency with icons illustrated to match your brand identity. Most customers expect companies to have a consistent and harmonious visual language across all platforms. Having a unique brand identity that is consistent increases customer conversion.


  4. to represent an abstract idea

    Illustration aids in understanding for all ages and learning styles. Augmenting text with illustrations helps learners understand and retain the information being conveyed.


  5. to depict subject matter that is too difficult to photograph

    For example: when depicting futuristic, etherial, and whimsical concepts, it is often more engaging and cost effective to hire an illustrator rather than set up a complex scene for a photoshoot that requires a ton of editing. Simplify the process with illustration.
