illustration





- selection of illustrations from www.misprintedtype.com
- 4 show interaction of illustration and typography, each being representative of the drawing style 
- the type demands the viewer's attention
- although all are different, each are intriguing and eye catching.

- the top 4 reflect the drawing skill by simply using linear techniques. 'chicken' shows linear shading techniques using the dot and line method, which creates visual depth and texture without leaving the illustration looking smudged. this is my favourite illustration as it reflects the character of the subject through the drawing style.
- the bottom illustration was a good find, as without being too stereotypical, I find that a lot of illustration shown at the moment is very similar, where as this has a more traditional outlook to it, reinforced by the heavily decorated lettering.

I really like the simplicity of these illustrations. They are rather childlike, but i think this is what makes them so much more appealing. The hand drawn type is also interesting, and carries its own unique characteristic.
