I use Illustration as an amazing communication tool. Words can explain something to you, but an illustration can show you something. "A picture is worth a thousand words" but an illustration is a thousand emotions. I use Illustrations to convey a feeling, a meaning, or an essence sometimes more effectively than a wall of text can. I use Illustrations to simplify a complicated idea, compliment the words or message being delivered to the user, and oftentimes stand alone without any needed explanation.
