Illustration
Sometimes a photograph just can't tell a
story the way an illustration can. Unlike photos, illustrations aren't saddled
with the burden of realism, opening the door to more expressive uses of color,
texture, perspective, and more!
An illustration can:
- Effectively highlight important features.
- Downplay unimportant or negative features.
- Reproduce better than photos in a 1, 2, or 3 color printing environment.
- Communicate mood or feelings more effectively.
Design Solutions has several talented illustrators on staff capable of working in both digital and traditional media.
Digital Illustration
- We support both Macintosh and PC platforms.
- Digital illustration reproduces well and is the easiest to edit. Several
versions of an image may be created with ease.
- There are 2 types - vector and pixel-based (bitmap)

Product Renderings
 When
a photograph won't do your product justice - illustration is the way to go.
Newspaper ads are a perfect example where a detailed illustration will reproduce
better than a photo. Digital or traditional, we'll recommend whatever suits
the project best.
Stock Illustration
We maintain a huge library of several hundred thousand royalty free stock illustrations.
This offers a quick and affordable illustration solution when time and/or budget
are a factor. The images run the gamut and range from high quality cartoons
to detailed renderings of unusual and every-day items. Sources include Corel,
Hemera, Art Explosion, Image Club, Eyewire, Artville, ArtParts and several others.
