Personal and Professional Practice: what is illustration part 1

We made a list of criteria which we feel is involved a lot in illustration, we then had to choose five of the points and find five illustrations that relate to each of the criteria.

TONE OF VOICE

Lorenzo Mattotti
The monotone in this image, really adds to the tone of voice. The big section of black, and long outstretched shadows gives a sinister, scary feel to it.

Bill Bragg

Kathe Kolwitz

Sam Bevington

Vintage Bournemouth Travel Poster by LMS

USE OF MEDIA AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION

Jonathan Ashworth 'Too Early' - woodcut

Edouard Baribeaud 'Au Pavillion des Lauriers' only two colours
Only two colours have been used for this, but he has managed to create such a variety of different tones using varying line marks and density of the ink.

Illustrations for a children's book published by Icinori - screen prints

Ana Juan 'Dawn over lower Manhattan' - paint and print

Linda Linko 'Kaiku' - pen, paint, collage, print

Philip Igumnov (Woodcum) - collage, print

ATTENTION TO DETAIL/SKILL/COMPLEXITY

Oliver Zwink

Lucinda Rogers
the use of different line thickness means that where there are thick lines, it gives a sense of heaviness to the object - very effective.

Ernst Haeckel

Nigel Peake

Michael Landy

NARRATIVE/SEQUENTIAL IMAGERY

Bill Bragg
I really like Bill Bragg's work, I am not usually into comics but his are very intriguing, and the lack of words I think advantages it as you're forced to understand and follow the images, which carry such atmosphere about them.
