Illustrator Tips

By Regina, September 14, 2010 1:30 am

Our Adobe Certified Trainer, Leslie Williams latest  Illustrator’s Art Works.

We would like to share a couple of tips to help creating better illustration.
(suggested by Computer Arts UK)

1. Choose colors wisely
A dramatic or iconic sketch can be compromised if your final version doesn’t have a considered palette. By contrast, a well-chosen range can help make an image memorable, and is another way of drawing attention to key elements or establishing a mood.

2. Utilize angles
Think carefully how the visual elements you’re using ‘bounce’ the viewer’s eye around a piece. You want the viewer to be drawn deeper into your image from the edges, rather than have their gaze led off the canvas. Utilize angles and shape to retain the viewer’s gaze.

3. How to add depth to your Vector Illustrations

  • Add texture & depth of field
  • Add Interesting effects on your vector image
