Posted By oliver On 05/18/2008
So who's hot and who's not so hot in this months top ten! This time we are covering one of the most popular and fast growing areas of the design industry, Illustration.
Illustration has been growing in popularity and the computer age has really helped it become more than a sketching and drawing art form. You can use a whole bundle of programs like Adobe Illustrator®, CorelDRAW®, Macromedia Freehand®, Adobe Flash® and Serif DrawPlus® (just to name a few) to expand your work to a whole new level. Adding extra imagery, vibrant colours and much more.
Anyway enough of that, lets get down to the nitty gritty of this months TOP TEN!
