5 illustration styles!!!

Okay so we formed into groups of 4 and had to go to the library to look for 5 samples of current illustration styles in magazines and here are the results!













This is an example of photorealism, which is a form of painting based off actual photographs. The beautiful thing about photorealism is that it is painted so well that it looks exactly like a photograph, and requires a highly skilled artist to execute it.
















This is a really cartoonish, fun and vibrant advertisement that is used to grab people's attention. It also suits the message of the advertisement, which aims to let people have fun by offering travel deals. This is done by using bright colors as well as the cartoon-like illustrations.















This magazine page contains 4 different illustration styles in itself. The top left picture if the man is a simple portrait, and to its right is a form of surrealism. The bottom left picture of the bird is an example of a minimalist image, where simple images are used to convey a strong message, in this case the message is save the world by saving electricity. The last picture is a water color painting, and is very well done as it effectively conveys how the man in the picture is feeling.














This is a very plain and simple advertisement. It doesn't have stunning visuals or any underlying meanings but instead it is very good in sending people the message, which is to plan early for your retirement.














Lastly, this is an informative advertisement, and is relatively word heavy when compared to the other advertisements above. This is an advertisement informing people about an app that allows people to feel like a police, and telling them the steps involved. I think this advertisement is good in a way that the visuals at the centre helps to balance out the words, thus people will not get bored from seeing it.
