Illustrations
Everyone knows the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words". It is easy to understand the reason why illustrations are used so often; they can deliver a message through a minimal use of words. In a layout, illustrations can include photographs, line art, and ornamentation, which can be used as decoration. They are commonly used in printed materials, especially in ads to display the illustration of the product.
The image on the left is an advertisement for the typeface "Rod". There is a vector image of a typewriter used as ornamentation to convey that this typeface is appropriate for old-fashioned or newspaper documents. |
