ILLUSTRATION
Lively lines
A very special highlight for our agency is the long-standing, successful collaboration with the draftsman and illustrator Wolfgang Looskyll. The illustration and production of children’s books, greeting cards and merchandising articles offers us a varied and interesting field of activity.
Digital-art-design realizes the coloring of stories –
among other things with well-known license figures such as:
Benjamin Blümchen • Bibi & Tina • Bibi Blocksberg • Die Biene Maja • Heidi • Little Amadeus • Tabaluga • Pippi Langstrumpf • Pinocchio • Wickie etc.
An activity that we exercise with great pleasure and attention to detail.
The other technical processes such as image retouching, set and the construction of complex folding and lacquer shapes are created by us. Our customers receive the complete print-ready data from one source, which can be delivered to the printing house without further processing to complete the projects.
From the draft sketch to the finished illustration …
… no witchcraft!
At the beginning of an illustration project is the planning and elaboration of the image content, as often entire text passages of a story within an image must be displayed.
With a lot of imagination and skill, the illustrator prepares the basics of image information in advance (usually in the form of pencil sketches) and then works them out in accordance with their ideas in coordination with his clients.
After the release of the illustration sketch, the final artwork is created, which represents the basis of the coloring for us.
Initially colored, we roughly coarsen the color scheme and can then incorporate the plastic expression of the illustration by applying color gradations, light effects and shades. With colored outlines we finally achieve an even softer appearance.
