Illustrations
Illustrations are an addition and
not key elements of publications.
They should only complement
texts and not draw away the
attention from it. Graphics must,
therefore, be simple, legible and
minimalist to effectively convey
required meaning.
Such an effect can be achieved
only by using a few graphic
elements to avoid distraction.
To maintain a proper contrast
among these elements, such
illustrations should have a white,
clean background.
Although the shades of orange
and navy blue are the leading
colors, it is often desirable to
make illustrations more diverse by
using secondary colors – blue and
green.
