Preset / Vector illustration

Vector illustration

Illustrative artwork that communicates content or ideas through clear vector-based lines and shapes.

It creates an illustration that communicates content as a two-dimensional image built from points, lines, curves, and shapes. Subject, palette, flat color, and logo use remain open while the illustration retains clear form.
