ILLUS 5241<br />
Style & Substance<br />
Fred Lynch<br />
<strong>Illustration</strong> is an art <strong>of</strong> visual communication. Style is simply the illustrator’s vocabulary;<br />
substance is what the illustrator has chosen to express. The success <strong>of</strong> an illustration<br />
depends on the seamless connection <strong>of</strong> these two entities. In this course students<br />
encounter a wide variety <strong>of</strong> subject matter drawn from a variety <strong>of</strong> fields. They are asked<br />
to create illustrations with a particular emphasis on the development <strong>of</strong> a personal vision<br />
as well as the successful communication <strong>of</strong> wisely chosen ideas. Style, its strengths and<br />
limitations, is examined in the light <strong>of</strong> its importance in the marketplace.<br />
