Well, according to common knowledge it may be a photo, an illustration or some kind of reproduction or this or that and so on. In communication we don´t analyze this much, do we? We see pictures and images everywhere in our everyday life. A photography can be digitally altered or not, it can be black and white, it can be lightened with virtually thousands of lighning modifiers including available light. What we see is a picture. An illustration can be made in thousands of ways on thousands of materials, and we still recognizes it as an illustration – or simply – a picture. That´s nice! (A Google search of the word “picture” gave 532,000,000 results. Thats a lot!)
In a small design studio we have to deal more with what kind of expression we want to give the product than should it be a photo or an illustration. It is often no borders between brush and ink, illustrator/photoshop or photos taken on location or in studio. Its about to choose wich manner that suits the project.
Since this is the first post on this blog, this is an explanation of the mix of photos, pictures, images, layouts, logos and designs that will show up on the theme “what is going on in the studio. I try to erase the borders between illustrator/photographer. I make pictures. Hope it will be inspiring!
