The “visual safety” and affordability of stock photography has created a homogenized aesthetic across the web. To make a unique visual impact, try applying illustration. Hire Stephen Schildbach or support any illustrator you like, to provide something unique and heart felt to your businesses’ online presence.
The Versatility of Illustration
Illustration has elements of versatility that a photograph does not. Photographs are mostly constrained to a rectangle or circle. Illustration can float or silhouette over a color as seen above. This illustration integrates with the design instead of being a separate shape or color from the design.
Visually showing how our business looks may not be very visually appealing, or maybe we don’t have good photographs of our work. An illustration can be a more imaginative way of looking at the work we do by modifying the colors to convey a mood, or idealizing a situation.
Graphic Illustrative Icons
Font Awesome is the best resource for thousands of graphic icons. But, if you have need for a series of unique graphic icons to identify the pages or sections of your site, ask an illustrator to come up with something unique. Graphic illustrative icons are a great way to identity your content and create a cohesive identity for your business.
