Editorial Illustration
Editorial illustration provides a visual entrance to an article in a newspaper, magazine, or feature page. It can interpret an argument through metaphor, character relationships, or compressed information instead of simply depicting a described scene. Size, cropping, and the placement of text also shape the composition, making image and writing work together.
