Extended data:

The expression of illustrations:

Illustrations show the image of the product itself, a certain part of the product, the product to be used, the product in use, the product under test and control, the distinctive features of the product, the benefits that can be obtained by using the product, the possible consequences of not using the product, testimony legends and so on. There are three main methods of expression: photography illustration, painting illustration (including realism, pure abstraction, new figuration, comics, graphics, etc. ) and three-dimensional illustrations.

Photographic illustration is the most commonly used illustration, because ordinary consumers think that photos are true and reliable and can objectively represent products. As a poster advertisement, the biggest difference between photographic illustration and general artistic photography is that it tries to express the characteristics of goods and expand the realism of products, while artistic photography tends to weaken some real characteristics of the subject in pursuit of a certain artistic conception.

As a photographic illustration of poster advertisement, it is best to shoot with 120 single lens reflex camera. According to the requirements of different subjects, some commonly used lenses are needed, such as wide-angle lens, telephoto lens, macro lens and close-up lens. Photographic illustrations of posters generally use color reversal films to ensure the quality of printing and plate making.

[Edit this paragraph] The form of illustrations

There are many forms of modern illustration, which can be classified by media or function. According to the classification of media, it is basically divided into two parts, namely print media and film and television media. Print media includes poster advertisement illustration, newspaper illustration, magazine book illustration, product packaging illustration, corporate image publicity material illustration, etc. Film and television media include movies, television and computer screens.

Poster advertising illustration: also known as poster, poster. In the era when advertisements mainly rely on printed media to transmit information, they can be said to be in a dominant position in advertisements. However, with the emergence of film and television media, its application scope has narrowed.

Newspaper illustration: Newspaper is one of the best media for information transmission. It is the most popular, low cost, large circulation, wide spread, fast speed and short production cycle.

Illustration of magazine books: including the design of front cover and back cover and the illustration of words, which are widely used in all kinds of books. Such as literature books, children's books, science and technology books, etc. This kind of illustration is gradually declining. In the future, it will still exist in a large number of electronic books and newspapers.

Product packaging illustration: product packaging makes illustration more widely used. Product packaging design includes three elements: logo, graphics and text. It has two missions: one is to introduce products, and the other is to establish brand image. The most prominent feature is that it is between plane and three-dimensional design.

Illustration of corporate image publicity materials: it is the VI design of enterprises. It is included in the basic system and application system of corporate image design.

Now the computer screen has become the performance space of commercial illustration, and many graphic library animations, game programs and graphic tables have become a member of commercial illustration.

Illustration status quo

The most developed place of illustration: the United States is a country with a very developed illustration market, and appreciating illustrations has become a habit of society. On the one hand, a large number of independent illustration products are sold in the terminal market, such as illustration books, magazines, illustration greeting cards and so on. On the other hand, illustration, as a part of visual communication system (graphic design, illustration, commercial photography), is widely used in graphic advertisements, posters, covers and other design contents. The illustration market in the United States is also very specialized, which is divided into children, sports, science fiction, food, digital, pure artistic style, humor and other professional types, and each type has a special illustrator. The whole illustration market is very standardized and the competition is fierce, because the average income level of illustrators is three times that of ordinary Americans.

Illustrations in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan: As we all know, Japanese commercial animation has a huge market and operation team. Animation is an important branch of illustration industry. Before CG technology (ComputerGraphics) entered the field of illustration, hand-drawn animation had become a sunrise industry in Japan. Today's younger generation is more and more inclined to use computer digital technology.

In South Korea, with the game industry climbing to the second pillar industry of the national economy in recent years, illustrations, especially digital illustrations, have sprung up everywhere, and the game characters designed with digital illustrations have also won more market space with the popularity of Korean games in China.

At the same time, Hong Kong and Taiwan illustrators are still looking for their own way of industry, although their works have obvious traces of learning from Japan. Illustration education: Beijing Institute of Printing, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, Beijing Broadcasting Institute, Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Fine Arts and other institutions have set up illustrations or related majors in the past two years, but the teaching content often only includes publication illustrations rather than commercial illustrations in a complete sense.

But in foreign countries, the combination of illustration education and market is very close. Many well-known illustrators are visiting teachers in various universities, and they have brought the most fashionable and cutting-edge business consciousness to the school. Nowadays, commercial illustrations popular in foreign markets include publication illustrations, cartoon mascots, video and game art designs and advertising illustrations. In fact, in China, illustrations have spread all over print and electronic media, commercial places, public institutions, commodity packaging, film and television performance posters, corporate advertisements and even T-shirts, diaries and New Year cards.

Illustrators can use PHOTOSHOP and PAINTER to draw bitmap illustrations, also can use SAI (Japanese software) to draw, and can also use CORELDRAW and ILLUXXXXXX (English name: forgotten = _ =) to draw vector illustrations, so it is essential to make CG illustrations with graphic flat plates. Moreover, the performance of the host is better, and CG animation has higher requirements for computers.

CG animation is mainly done by MAYA. Many other auxiliary software plug-ins will be used in animation abroad. But it is also good to learn Maya well. A Maya is enough for you to learn for several years. = _ =

Learning CG is a bit backward. There are many CG tutorials now, and you can learn faster by watching video tutorials.
