ILLUSTRATION
A skill every designer should aspire to have is drawing ability. It's a great way to formulate concepts and ideas. There are so many designers out there that can all do a great job so it's quite difficult to choose one from another. I guess it comes down to having all-round understanding from concept stage to final artwork stage.
To complete an artwork you need visuals such as photos or illustrations. Find the right photo is a challenge and this why we have professional photo editors, and to conceptualise an image we need the talented help of illustrators.
A simple idea that conveys a message is an everyday task for many designers. A huge variety of styles are needed to fit the job and depending on the ingredients and methods that we have to consider make the job that little bit more difficult but challenging.
