Digital illustration has come a long way. Having altered the nature of the profession beyond recognition, the medium has been influencing the creative industries for many years.

Although from the 1970s onwards it took a back seat from photography, illustration has remained an invaluable part of book publishing. With ever more sophisticated software used to create digital illustrations, designs are now more stylish, innovative and imaginative than ever. They are often more captivating than photography as illustration hasn't got the same boundaries photography imposes.

The advent of digital illustration arguably reflects our present technological age. Unsurprisingly, the technique doesn't have an extensive history behind it; even in the 1980s computers such technology was still in its infancy. This means that digital illustrations can still lend a modern and sophisticated air to a project. Digital illustration is also highly versatile. It can seamlessly incorporate different, more traditional mediums like photography and hand drawn art. Not to mention the fact digital illustration is easier to modify.
