Illustration
Illustration is a powerful tool that communicates ideas through visuals like cartoons, digital renderings, drawings, manipulated photographs, paintings, and sketches. With professional-quality design programs digital illustrations can be created that not only emulate traditional mediums, such as pencil, coloured pencil, ink, paint, paper, and charcoal but also opens up all-new possibilities.
Renaissance Monkey Design has created illustrations for advertisements, audio-visual presentations, books, compact discs, infographics, magazines, postcards, posters, promotional campaigns, web sites, whitepapers, and many other forms of marketing.
