Art for arts sake, as the French say! It has its own value. It does not have to teach a lesson, or prove a moral point, or support a political point. It is merely arousing a feeling in you, and it’s beautiful.
Professional illustration on the other hand has an added benefit because it engages you to action.
It is used to illustrate stories, or promote products, to create fashion design, to make posters announcing anything which include educational, environment. and the list is fairly endless
From the 1500’s till today the poster art has imagined anything you want say . It has evolved from simple text placards in the into vibrant lithographic advertisements, powerful wartime propaganda, and modern digital art. They have historically been used to share public decrees, sell commercial goods, rally political movements, and promote cultural events.
It is by far one the most influential forms , including literature and music in the world that will inspire, entertain and affect change.
