ILLUSTRATING THE TEXT

  • Do not show the reader what they can easily read
  • A good illustration adds something to the text
  • Mood, emotion, read between the lines
  • What is the piece about
  • Understand the text
  • 1 colour image to print, 12 cm by 14cm in size
  • CMYK
  • 300 DPI
  • Photography, illustration, painting, printmaking, collage
  • Symbolism
  • Look up words you do not understand
  • How does the piece feel? happy/funny/sad/intense/dark/thought provoking
  • Is there any imagery within the image?
  • Draw up initial ideas
  • Work bigger and resize
  • Refine Ideas, are they working?
  • Processes- how are you going to make your illustrations
