Illustration

Illustration has been used in Hundreds of formats since its beginning. Believed to be started with Illuminated Manuscripts, Illustration has helped guide our imaginations in the written format for many years. Since then it has evolved into a way to portray ideas through still image to people. It is the combination of Concept, Context, and Image, meaning you make an image with a concept within a context. It's used in many forms of Advertising as well as propaganda. It could be said that Animation is Illustration but in movement. Which is like next level Illustration in a way. Still, there is something to be said with being able to get across an idea with using 2-d still images.
