Methods of expression of illustrations:

The images represented by illustrations include the product itself, a certain part of the product, the product to be used, and the product in use. Products, test and control products, distinguishing features of the product, benefits that can be obtained from using the product, possible consequences of not using the product, testimonial illustrations, etc. There are three main categories of expression methods: photographic illustrations, painting illustrations (including realistic, purely abstract, neo-concrete, comic-cartoon, graphical, etc.) and three-dimensional illustrations.

Photographic illustrations are the most commonly used illustrations, because consumers generally believe that photos are real and reliable, and they can objectively represent products. The biggest difference between photographic illustrations as poster advertisements and general art photography is that they try to express the characteristics of the product and expand the reality of the product. In order to pursue a certain artistic conception, art photography often uses some of the real characteristics of the photographed object as a Diminished artistry.

Photographic illustrations used for poster advertisements are best shot with a 120 single lens reflex camera. According to the requirements of different themes, some commonly used lenses should be equipped, such as wide-angle lens, telephoto lens, macro lens and Close-up lens, etc. The creation of photographic illustrations for posters generally uses color reversal films to ensure the quality of printing and plate making.

The flat decorative style, Han Dynasty tiles and portrait stones can break the natural and visual limitations in the composition, and use a form of looking straight up and looking up, which marks the maturity of our country's traditional art. The paintings are created in a flat form, and the themes are mostly characters and animals, with plants and landscapes as backgrounds. The pictures create a rich flavor of life.

When extracting elements in the design of cultural and creative products, a flat style is very common.

ARTIST12|The meaning of travel: See the fireworks in the world in a different way

How much a person gets from traveling is not about how many beautiful places he has been to.

how many beautiful stories he discovered in a beautiful place.

——Alain de Botton, "The Art of Travel"

MakeArtNotWar

Someone said:

"There must be at least two things in life. The first impulse:

A desperate love and a quick trip.”

So, what is the meaning of travel?

Because of graduation, Plan a graduation trip;

Because of a breakup, I went away for a while to relax;

Because of the holiday, I went to another place to play;

...

...

p>

Maybe there is no reason, just traveling for the sake of traveling.

So, we came to a country, a city, and a scenery.

What we saw and met,

we experienced some processes,

let this trip grow some memories in our hearts.

What is the meaning of travel?

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

Everyone sees the world differently.

I can only say that maybe this makes traveling more meaningful.

I like the hand-drawn Chongqing girl "Kaka"

The illustrator Kasdindo (Kaka) is a girl born and raised in Chongqing. She is also a well-known travel illustrator and an in-depth travel enthusiast.

Kaka is good at recording every detail of his travels by hand-drawing with his diary. He has long been a contributor to the high-end travel magazine "Condé Nast Traveler" and the fashion and lifestyle magazines "ELLEDECO Home Gallery" and "Travel World". His footprints are all over the world. to European countries as well as the United States, Canada and other places.

Kaka has been fond of illustrations and picture books since she was a child. However, when she was studying at Sichuan University, the college did not have a special illustration major. Kaka had not even heard of the word "picture book" at that time, so she was confused. I chose graphic design and new media and did a lot of interesting things.

When he was about to leave college, Kaka suddenly realized that he still missed the feeling of hand-drawing. So in the year of graduation, he drew his first children's book through a friend's introduction, and thus began to "accidentally" enter the illustration circle. .

Kasdindo (Kaka)

Born in Shapingba, Chongqing

Graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts with a bachelor's degree

Graduated from the New China Academy of Art with a master's degree Department of Media Arts

Well-known travel illustrator and teaching director of NinoArt

Currently A doctoral student at the Research Center for the History of Chinese Thought and Calligraphy and Painting at the China Academy of Art

Watch the fireworks in the world in a different way

Aside from painting, Kaka’s biggest interest is traveling. Whether traveling with friends or alone, traveling around the world is always the most motivating thing for Kaka. This passion even exceeds making money and creating works.

It is precisely because of this enthusiastic following of "poetry and distance" that Kaka's "by-products of travel" were born and are deeply loved by everyone.

Later, "handbook" became popular. Kaka likes this kind of recording method with pictures and texts. During travel, the combination of pictures and texts can complement each other and vividly reflect what you see and think at the moment.

Although the notebook is not a serious work for traditional academic art, it is just right for a "not so serious" illustrator like Kaka. So it became Kaka's habit to draw wherever he went, a habit that made him feel uncomfortable if he didn't draw.

The notebooks of Kaka’s drawings are all about the same size, mainly for easy carrying when traveling. In order to give the story of each journey some coherence, Kaka usually draws luggage and a map on the first page of the book, as well as the place he will arrive at, so that it is easier to form an overall view in his mind.

Kaka felt that doing this was just like writing an essay outline. He felt very at ease and settled. Being able to understand the relationship between this city and surrounding cities, or the relationship between this country and China, it was a preliminary understanding. impression.

Kaka also made many interesting changes in the layout of her works, such as the scallops she photographed with her camera at the Bastille market.

When creating, Kaka placed the picture in the middle, and wrote the words around the picture, forming a circle. When reading, he had to turn around, as if the happiness at that time was like an infinite circle. Quite interesting.

Kaka seems to be the kind of person who "just leaves" and travels alone. In fact, no one is not afraid of the fear of the unknown, and the same is true for Kaka. Fortunately, the journey in a foreign country was safe and sound.

Nearly all the tourists I met during the trip would exclaim: "You are traveling alone! You are so brave!" Kaka gradually became calmer, and even felt a little "elegant" when seeing the beautiful scenery. "Proud" feeling.

The confidence and satisfaction during travel are short-lived. Everyone has to return to daily life and move forward, so being able to sit down, listen to songs, draw, and relax... is also a blessing to myself who has been working hard and tired. What a reward.

Individual life is so limited,

But if we can place meaning on things beyond meaning.

Such as art, such as music, such as ideological creation

...

Such a short and limited life may gain unlimited power.

This is also one of the "meanings of travel".

What do you think is the meaning of travel?
