Illustration Types

5 Types of Illustrations

The prices for different illustration types usually differ due to the varying levels of details they entail.

 

Spot Illustrations

“Spot Illustrations” are commonly used in children’s books to add visual interest to a page with text or to depict a sequence of events. Typically, these illustrations are small and straightforward, taking up a quarter of the page or less, and often have minimal or no background.

Half-page illustrations

“Half-Page Illustrations”, commonly used in children’s books, occupy half of a page and can be detailed despite their smaller size. However, the background may not be as intricate as that of a full-page illustration.

Single Full Page Illustrations

“Single Full Page Illustration” is an illustration that covers an entire page within a spread. This type of illustration offers ample space for intricate details and design elements. Typically, text is not overlaid on the illustration itself, but rather placed on the opposite page within the spread.

Double Full Page Illustrations

Double Full Page Illustrations

“Double Full Page Illustrations” refers to a format in which two separate images are presented on each side of the spread. This style of illustration is frequently utilized to depict cause-and-effect relationships or two action sequences in a story that come together to convey a unified message.

Spread Illustrations

“Spread Illustrations” are images that span across two full pages and often incorporate text within the illustration. This format is highly favored in children’s books as it creates an immersive experience for the reader by enveloping them in the story’s visuals.
