Illustration is used to convey an idea of explain a message while fine art is simply someone expressing feelings through their art. This book illustration is for the children's book "Where the Wild Things are" the illustrations are done by Maurice Sendak who also wrote the beloved children's story. His art for this book is a good example of illustration because it helps the story come alive. The characters are so unusual yet amazing the amount of detail and individuality found in the creatures is fantastic.

My sister read this book, "A cricket in Times Square," for school and being 6 I helped read it to her every night and in my opinion is a good example of an illustration. The illustrator was able to take the most important or interesting scenes in the beginners chapter book so that it was not mostly pictures but was able to help distinguish each character. The illustrator used black and white with shading to create detail which was a nice addition since the book is a transition from picture books to chapter books.

I grew up reading this book and in first grade did a project using the same technique as Eric Carl and he is able to take something so simple and make it interesting and give it a texture. Although when the viewer first looks at the illustration thye could think that it looks mix-matched, in my opinion it is genius it gives it definition and appeals to young children, which is the market for his stories.

This Coca- Cola poster uses simplicity and color to make an advertisement that captures the essence of spring, likely they put out the poster before spring so that when the viewer saw the poster would think "spring" which in most people creates a positive impression. Then they look to see the coke bottle which automatically after looking at the bottle a trigger in your mind goes "hey I am kinda thirsty" which causes someone to crave a coke. Not only an attention grabber with the colors but also very effective.

Although it is not the most artistic or creative poster ever created, right when someone looks at the poster they understand the concept of the movie, the main character and therefore effective. Even without the caption the viewer understands that the movie is about.



This movie poster is genius, the colors listed on the poster alone gives the idea of McDonalds, even without the fires shoved in his mouth. IUt uses comedy to catch the viewers eye and then text to give the viewer a better idea as to what the movie is about.
