Welcome to our 18th Now Thats What I Call Design. For this month we will be focusing our efforts on finding the best Illustration designs across social media.

“An illustration is a drawing, painting or printed work of art which explains, clarifies, illuminates, visually represents, or merely decorates a written text, which may be of a literary or commercial nature”

For this weeks article we will be concentrating on Dribbble a creative platform well know for its diverse illustrative styles.

As always be sure to send in your favourite Illustration designs & we will include them in the next article. This doesn’t have to be Dribbble. ALL Social media platforms are accepted!
