Creative people have a specialty that is sometimes misunderstood by would-be prospective clients.  Let’s compare two types of artists whom are regularly considered (or assumed) to offer the exact same skill–but actually provide different graphic services.

The illustrator and graphic designer are most commonly confused as the same. Most people assume that a graphic designer can draw but this is not always true. In short, a graphic designer designs and an illustrator draws- or illustrates.  Both artists create but do so with different tools and for a different purpose.

While a graphic designer uses a variety of  graphic elements such as line, shape, texture, space, size, value and color in combination to create a certain “look”  then these elements are used to further develop the design using visual balance, rhythm, emphasis and unity.

An illustrator may draw the human figure as realistic-from a model (an actual person) or draw in a more basic style as in cartoons or caricatures.  Both drawing styles require great skill and practice.  Creating a caricature or cartoon of an individual requires the artist to demonstrate a clear knowledge of anatomy, basic drawing and the accurate depiction of the subject: the cartoon should actually resemble the person (distortions included).

The results of the work will clearly demonstrate the illustrators mastery of the basic drawing elements of line, space, value, proportion along with composition and the graphic design elements to create an illustration that is fitting for the assignment. As in other industries and services the quality of the illustrator’s work will vary from artist to artist and from the novice to experienced illustrator.
