Creating illustrations & posters. The first step to creating is to get an idea. Ideas can be found just about any where,Web, books, Magazines, Newspaper, Media etc. You want to do a lot of research on what exactly it is you want to create and what message you are trying to communicate and advertise to people. There are many types of illustrations you can choose from. Some being Retro style, retro style is a combine wood grain and halftone textures with basic shapes. Another style is Vintage, Vintage gives your image a older feel, I see that a lot of Vintage illustrations have a limit of color and have a font or image that everyone is familiar with. Remember that illustrations are visual matter used to clarify or decorate a text. Let your imagination take its toll and let your illustration or poster clarify or explain what it your saying but in image form. Text and words can be used on illustrations and posters, There is no real right or wrong way on how to create an illustration or poster, Its all about using the right side of your brain and let your imagination take its course. You will be surprised on what ideas you will come up with.
