ILLUSTRATION

Central to all the pieces Swoop Media creates is the belief that imagery is a vital tool in communication. Custom illustrations allow for both a distinct look and sophisticated symbolism.

  • Other names for illustrations used in business include infographics, information design, and diagrams

Why would I use it?

  • Illustrations can represent data, journeys, or knowledge graphically

  • Through adding a human element, illustrations can elicit emotion and make topics more reachable

Iconography

Icons are used daily in our professional lives. By creating custom icons for your project or brand, you benefit from standing out from standard stock imagery while curating a cohesive identity.

Storytelling

The use of narrative to demonstrate concepts and wisdom is powerful and effective. Adding visual elements to your storytelling enhances your work while helping your audience understand and remember the idea.

Infographics

Infographics are visual images, such as a diagram or chart, used to explain or represent information. First popular in displaying data, we now use them to illustrate ideas and topics more quickly and clearly than words alone.

Improving Impact
