Illustration in the Communication Design degree
Drawing and making pictures is an inherent urge to depict, narrate, explain and decorate. Makers and viewers alike find pleasure in the image in the projected imagination, the magic of appearance and the play with symbols. Images are media of visualization. Images denote an objective or subjective reality. Pictures have their own reality in their formal language and materiality.
"Making a picture" is also a way of recognizing, and if you don't just do it for yourself, it is communication. Pictures are both expression and representation, subjective and general. Communicability requires form, while the refined subjectivity in the image poetically undermines and enriches communication. The intrinsic meaning and function of images are always intertwined.
Being able to unite the stubbornness and function of images is an expectation of professional illustration, whether applied or authorial, whether in the context of communication design or as popular culture. Teaching includes the artistic work of developing one's own visual language and its application in the design process. Illustration combines art and design through the central moment of the visual idea. Teaching supports the development of an attitude that uses visual language to formulate visual ideas. Attitude develops critically and skillfully. Attitude is style.
