illustration

COLOUR: most of modern illustration uses simple black and white images or very bright highly saturated colours.                                                                                                                           (Art Chantry)

MAIN IMAGE: the point of illustartion is 'Mainimage' so the mian image is very simple and domiant in the centre of the page. 

SPACE: illustration puts the main image in the centre of the page useally with a one colour or white background. the backgroung colour helps the main image stand out and keeps it from touching the edges.

LAYOUT: in the design style Illustration the main image is the center of attention and is placed in the middle of the page creating a strong point of focus.

COMPOSITION: composition in design makes a very clear and ballanced relationship between the main image and the background making it a strong form of art.

TEXT/TYPE: text is very rearly used in illustration. but when it is its clear and easy to read but standing alone and not really part of the image. text can be used to help get the point across.
