What is an Illustration: illustration is the act of describing information or ideas by example, usually in a visual manner in the form of an image.

Design Always has a function and a reason. If it doesn't have these we rethink. What problems need solved? How do we fix/ make it better? Practice builds craft.

Tools back then: Pens, pencils, paper, photocopier, fax machine, collage.

Extra tools now: Tablets, vectors, photoshop, figma

What did I learn? / Reflection:

We learned that people in the past created so much with half the technology we have. It was really eye opening to learn about illustrators and designers that have came before us. We should be able to create even more and extra beautiful things with all the tools we now have at our advantage.
