Про книгу

Whether as a complement to written content

or a stand-alone attention getter, illustration

is being used more and more often

to set prominent accents. Illustrations

have become a key component of advertising,

communication, reporting, and other

media. Because visual storytelling gets messages

across more effectively in our age of

information overload, illustration is gaining

in importance. It’s no wonder that the

current spectrum of creative expression

represented by this technique is so vast.

Illusive 4 is the definitive reference of

contemporary illustration and these developments.

Showcasing the work of around

200 active illustrators ―both established

names and new talents ―from around the

world, the book demonstrates the dynamism

of this creative technique and documents

global trends. Some examples

surprise the viewer by integrating elements

from fashion sketching, figurative painting,

collage, and photography.

Astute texts describe how and where

illustration is being used today and put the

featured work into context. They explore

opportunities for illustration in fields

including advertising and merchandising

and for thematic topics such as fashion,

lifestyle, politics, and culture.

Illusive 4 makes it clear that illustrations

are not only used as decorative elements,

but to visually convey both content and

emotions. Because of its role as a transmitter

of information, the medium of illustration

is not limited by current fads. In fact,

much of the included work is characterized

by an impressive creative independence.

The results are as astounding as they are

inspiring.

Its scope makes Illusive 4 a rich source of

ideas for illustrators, painters, and visual

artists, as well as for graphic and editorial

designers. Its combination of images and

text offers added insights for editors, writers,

and anyone working in communication. In

short, the book is meant for everyone who is

passionate about illustration, as well as those

who are interested in new visual experiences

and are involved in their creation.
