Illustration - Digital and Traditional from Valentine Design

The digital age has brought many new and exciting tools for artists to increase their creativity. Collage - both digital and manual - has become an exciting way of adding impact and intrigue to graphic design. The art of blending images from photography, drawings, and other art, along with the creative use of type has the power to create visual impact to promote your products and services. On this page are a few of the creations from Valentine Design using digital collage, manual collage and digital illustration.

Above right the cover of a CD jewel case combines stock photography with a watercolor. The card below is an example of manual collage which includes a hand-rubbed transfer, hand-cut stamps, and purchased stamps.

				Valentine Design was pleased to be asked to illustrate the design concept for the City of Gloucester's World War II Memorial. The fund-raising committee needed a concept to present to the public but there was no illustration. Using a combination of scanned images, architectural blueprints, and technical illustrations, we created the above design that was used on posters and brochures to raise the needed funds. The monument is now in place on Gloucester's Stacey Boulevard.
